I honestly can’t recommend Wards of Walderslade enough after the experience we’ve just had. We’d previously been with a rival agent, and to be honest, they left us absolutely hating the whole process of trying to sell; it was frustrating, impersonal, and just a total headache. Switching to Wards was like night and day. The team, and especially Anna, completely turned things around for us. What I appreciated most about Anna was her straightforward honesty; she never gave us the usual run-around and was always totally transparent, which was such a refreshing change. She didn't just go through the motions; she actually listened and ended up finding us the absolute dream next chapter for our family’s lives. It felt like she was genuinely invested in getting us into the right place rather than just chasing a commission, and we’re so grateful she helped us turn a negative experience into such a massive win.

Wards estate agents were very supportive during the sale of our home. After having been living somewhere for 19 years, you forget the process. However, we didn't need to be concerned in any way. Anna Harding and her team at Wards in Walderslade were with us every step of the way and achieved our sale very quickly. I would highly recommend using their services, it was hassle free and professional.

Selling my childhood home was made so much easier thanks to Anna Harding, who from the start, handled aspects of the conveyancing respectfully and faithfully to my wishes. Barry Smith, our sales progressor, was also a great communicator and helped the process move along smoothly and quickly. All in all the service I received from Walderslade Wards was excellent.

What can I say! Wards Walderslade!! I couldn’t of asked for a better team to help me achieve my goal of finding my first home. As everyone’s aware when looking for a house you sometimes go through a few company’s, And I’ve got to say Wards is above everyone else. Especially the guys at the Walderslade branch, most importantly Aimi,Ben & Kim, If I wasn’t keen on a property they literally had another one ready to go. Thanks to Aimi, I got one before it even went on the market, so super grateful to her. Of course! A big thanks to Kim, as a first time buyer you have a lot of questions, nothing was ever an issue. If it wasn’t for Kim i wouldn’t have known about half the stuff that went on with my mortgage. She’s a superstar 🌟 Massively Recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

On walking into wards of Walderslade Ben was friendly and engaging and made an appointment for valuation. Kenny came to our property and again was professional but relaxed and friendly and instilled a sense that he knew his job and the propery market very well. We sold our property very quickly and all the staff including Maxine, Aimi and Kim were all on hand to deal with our worries and woes in this stressful process in an understanding, helpful and approachable way. We have just exchanged contracts and I'm delighted to recommend the team at Wards of Walderslade! Thank you all so much!

Top Class! Our sale/move was a rather stressful one thanks to the incompetence of the rest of the chain. Without Anna I have no doubt it would have fallen apart. Her customer focus and interaction with me as a customer was faultless, she is an asset to Wards. I have to mention Max, Aimi and Charlie too as in the background they also supported me which I am grateful for. Well done Walderslade!

Hi Allison, Thank you for such powerful feedback. We know how challenging the moving process can become when others in the chain create complications, so it is wonderful to hear that Anna’s dedication and customer focus helped keep everything together. She will be so pleased to know her support made such a difference, and we are equally grateful to Max, Aimi and Charlie for their efforts behind the scenes to provide steady property sale support. We truly appreciate you recognising the team’s hard work. Thanks, Wards

I recently bought a house through Wards of Walderslade and was really pleased with the whole process. My partner and I had been looking for houses across several branches and were struggling to find something we loved. Whilst arranging a second viewing for a property, Aimi told me I had to view a new property that had just been listed with them and I ended up viewing it the next day. It was amazing and just as described. Exactly nine weeks later, we were moved into the home and were extremely happy we how the process went. A big thank you to Aimi, Kenny and Kim who were extremely helpful and attentive from start to finish.

Recently sold one of my houses which proved extremely challenging for everyone concerned all the way through the chain, but I can honestly say that Kim, my sales mediator from Wards did an absolutely fantastic job of communicating with and motivating action from all of the legal professionals involved to eventually get us over the line and complete the sale! Thanks Kim, at times it was stressful and we had our moments but in forever grateful to your dedication to see this through! Good luck with everything you do in the future! Tony x

My daughter has just bought her house through Wards at Walderslade. From start to finish the service has been nothing but professional. It had been a long process just finding the house but Kenny and Sam were always happy to talk to me (mum) on my daughters behalf due to her job. They looked out for a good place for her and helped with the negotiation. Kim then took over the process of buying and kept us well informed as well as keeping us sane throughout. This is so different from selling her house through a different company. I highly recommend wards of walderslade. Thank you to all of you.

After the passing of my mum, we contacted Wards to speak to them re the need to put my mums house on the market. Sam was great and extrmely empathetic from the initial conversation, through to signing the agreement and ensured kept up to date throughout the sales progress and when talking ua through the offers that we had received. Aimi and Adam were brilliant showing prospective buyers round the property and had really done their homework on the property, features so were able to answer any questions that came their way. Once offer accepted, Kim Batchelor stepped in from a sales progression perspective and was fantastic. Kim kept us up to do date on a weelkly basisz through calls and emails, took the pressure off us of chasing solicitors and managed the entire thing through to completion seamlessly. Thank you Wards of walderslade for making a very difficult situation an as easy process for me and family as possible.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the team at Wards Walderslade - they’ve made what has been a long, bumpy journey to buy our first house so much smoother. Ben was fabulous with viewings and getting our offer in, Kenny worked wonders with getting our offer accepted, and Kim has been an absolute legend in supporting us through to exchange. I would 110% recommend this office - huge thanks to the team, you’re superstars!

I can not express how helpful and friendly the team at Walderslade were, they have all been helpful in searching for our forever home taking into account what we were looking for. In particular Kenny and Sam. Kim Batchelor then took over the case and I can not say how amazing and friendly she was. She was the force behind getting the completion date and was always available when needed with calls texts etc. after finally getting the date we all wanted I know this was due to her pushing and keeping on top of everything. Thankyou all So much x

I give Walter slate branch a five stars as they have been so helpful and Kim the branch manager what can I say this woman is one in a million she has made us feel so comfortable and helped us along with with all of our transfers considering in my son has never done it before. Kim was more of a friend than someone who was helping me my house and I would recommend her to anyone because she is very caring nose exactly what she's doing she gets her job done I just cannot say enough about Kim and what she does in fact the staff in Walderslade Village outstanding. But Kim I thank you enough for her expertise even my son has found it lovely speaking and working with him.. and if ever we was to buy another property I will definitely want Kim on board five stars is Not Enough it's a 10 out of 10....

I bought my property from Wards 4 years ago and I’m glad to say I had a very positive experience again from the Wards team @Walderslade. From the time of marketing my property it took just 2 months until it was sold. The team at Wards made it the sale seamless and stress free. I’d like to thank Kim who just put me at ease with her regular updates and advice… Kenny, Sam and Adam who always answered the phone so cheerfully and helped me with me queries and Colin who advised me and sorted out my mortgage initially…. Excellent team and excellent service… happy to recommend Wards every time…

As first time buyers, myself and my husband had no idea on what to do or what the procedures were. We first initially dealt with Sam Bahia who contacted us when we initially enquired in the property we have now gone on to purchase. Sam was the one who arranged the in first place. He was then the one who spoke us through the next steps once we had put our offer in. Sam was helpful even after the offer had been put in and accepted, he would respond to my many questions that I had thought of and he would always come back with the answers whether it had been via email or telephone. Kim Batchelor couldn’t have been more helpful. Although we had great contact with our solicitor, she liaised between our solicitors and the sellers solicitors and always kept us updated and informed us with the next step. Kim was so lovely and always made me feel at ease when speaking to her, she was a friendly voice amongst the chaos. I think the whole process would have taken so much longer without her assistance and liaising between solicitors, the seller and ourselves. You always hear bad things about Estate Agents but working with Wards of Walderslade has honestly made the whole process easy and stress-free. We would recommend using Wards to anyone hesitant.
