Wards did a great job at marketing and selling my property. My agent Kate Funnell was friendly and a very hard worker, she did a thorough and professional job at all times. She was well informed and kept us updated at every step. It was a pleasure working with her and Wards.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Sold our house with Wards and were very happy with the service they provided. Tom Dodd was very knowledgeable and helpful with the valuation and Maria Meddings kept us informed with the process of the sale.

We've just bought our house through Wards and we found Adam, Ashley and Tom to be really helpful and generous with their time and advice. Tom and Ashley were always incredibly friendly, professional and willing to help and I don't think we would've go things over the line if it wasn't for Adam's patience and diplomacy. Thanks guys!PositiveQuality, Professionalism

Fabulous service from Kirsty

Just had the pleasure of speaking to Kirsty Hunt at Wards. She was super friendly and personable on the phone and explained everything fully regarding some unallocated rental payments they’re returning to us. Great call and quick to follow it up with a friendly email too giving another overview so my wife is also aware. Great service Kirsty, thanks!

I have been really pleased with the service provided by Wards of Canterbury, and would recommend them as a great Estates Agent. Huge thanks to our Sales Progressor, Maria Meddings, who kept us up to date through out the whole process, and helped immensely as we got closer to exchange!

Tom from the Canterbury branch of Wards went above and beyond to help us with the sale of my late father’s house. As executors my brother and I had little knowledge of how to proceed with putting the house on the market.Tom was helpful, knowledgeable and very professional. Tom made a stressful time more bearable for which we are really grateful.

After the sale of the property l…

After the sale of the property l experienced a complete lack of communication and empathy from.the agent. Despite repeated attempts to get assistance. They failed to contact the seller after collecting their commission. Their handling of the situation was highly unprofessional showing no willingness to support or resolve outstanding issues. Overall the service provided was below expexmctation and l would not recommend their services to anyone looking for a a reliable and responsible agent.

If you want an estate agent who will ignore you when you need something; not be available in their office at all; lack basic human compassion/understanding and harass you when they want something, go with Wards.

Wards have been very helpful with helping me buy a new home. Showing me round the house I wanted to buy. After finding the house I wanted, Kate kept me informed with updates and information I needed and also useful to ring when I had a query.

We received excellent service from Wards of Kent. The staff is very friendly and professional and all our enquiries were dealt in a timely manner. We would particularly like to thank Maria Meddings, Senior Sales Progressor, for facilitating exchange & completion with all solicitors involved. Highly recommended.PositiveProfessionalism

Dear Viktoria, Thank you for your great feedback regarding our Canterbury team and especially Maria, our Senior Sales Progressor. I am delighted to hear the team dealt with your enquiries professionally and in a timely manner, not an easy feat at the moment with the stamp duty holiday creating such high demand and the extra cases solicitors are dealing with. We certainly could not be without our amazing sales progressors to help liaise with everyone in the chains to help push the sales through and Maria really is exceptional, working longer hours, on her days off and even logging in to help whilst she was moving herself. Thank you so much for your recommendation, it will mean so much to the team. Kind regards Sam Dalton Senior Operations Director Wards Estate Agents

Generally good service, Kate Funnell was very positive and helpful. Maria Meddings was the sale progressor and generally good and did respond quickly to emails. However, in the whole process never answered her phone line when we were trying to contact her urgently.PositiveProfessionalism

Malcolm · 9 December 2021

Agent replied · 8 December 2024

Dear Malcolm, Thank you for your feedback regarding Kate and Maria in our Canterbury team. I am sorry to hear you struggled to get through to Maria on the telephone. Unfortunately due to the high volume of sales due to the stamp duty holiday and the nature of Maria's role it means she spends the majority of her working day on the telephone herself. In the sales office where we have more staff we have multiple lines and our central office can also take any overflow calls when they are engaged to assist. As Maria's role is more of a technical nature and she works alone it has not been possible at this stage to offer the same service at present. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and I will pass on your feedback to the team. All the best, stay safe. Kind regards Sam Dalton Senior Operations Director Wards Estate Agents
