Kim Batchelor sale progression and Kenny George Sales. I have recently sold my house through Wards of Walderslade and the service has been fantastic. Kenny has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and has been of help wherever needed. We achieved a good price and sold quickly. Following the sale Kim Batchelor assisted in the exchange process and provided updates and chased the solicitors to make progress, I could not praise Kim enough for the outstanding service provided, a great help at a stressful time. Thank you both so much for all your help, I'm really not planning on moving ever again, but if i did, I'd use you without hesitation.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Walderslade & Kim Batchelor sale progression - we were over the moon with the service we received from Wards and in particular our sales progressor Kim. We were almost at the end of the process when the Covid-19 pandemic struck and we went into lockdown. In all the uncertainty Kim kept us updated with regular phone calls and did everything she could to push it all through to completion for us and we managed to move into our new home mid-April. I would definitely recommend Wards!

Lower Gillingham - Kim Batchelor sales progression. Wards Walderslade. Sold our house with Wards Walderslade in August last year and would definitely recommend them. We ended up part of a long chain of 8 houses and has been a very long process, as have only recently exchanged. However, we have very much appreciated having regular updates and support from Kim Batchelor , who managed to keep track of our chain and regularly update us of the progress. I think this role is very valuable at Wards. Thanks again to Kim and the team.

Dear Kerrie, Thank you for your feedback regarding the help you received from Kim our Senior Sales Co-Ordinator. I agree the role is invaluable and as a company we could not do without them. They are not easy to find / recruit as they need a select number of skills; a real desire to help people, calm under pressure (not easy when buying / selling a home can be a stressful time in someone's life) patient, yet tenacious as solicitors in particular do not like to be pushed and good at solving problems. I am so pleased we found Kim who have been with us over 10 years and had many years of experience in the role prior to us. She always carries out her role with a smile on her face and rises to any challenge that is put in front of her. She will be so pleased she was able to help you and we all wish you the very best in your new home. Kind regards Sam Dalton Senior Operations Director Wards Estate Agents

Kim Batchelor was absolutely amazing. We were buying our first property which was stressful enough, then a pandemic hit the nation (COVID-19) which delayed everything and made it that bit more stressful. I cannot stress enough how much time and effort she put into getting our purchase to go through. We had a very difficult chain that presented more and more problems along the way. Kim really pushed to get everything to go through as smoothly as possible and to be honest without her I don't think our chain would have worked. She worked through her days off to ensure we kept moving forward. She dealt with me on the phone multiple times moaning about circumstances that were out of everyone's control (which believe me, must of been a task in itself!) We are moving into our home tomorrow and we cannot be happier! Kim, you are a diamond, thanks for your help!

Last September we took the decision to market our home in Walderslade Woods and chose your Walderslade branch to be our Estate Agent. We embarked on our journey following a visit from Kenny and our home was marketed from the start with a passion and professionalism that I did not see with the other local agents. After Christmas a buyer was found and we moved to the the next phase of our home move. It was at this point we were introduced to Kim Bachelor who became our sales progressor and worked along side Kenny to keep everything on track. Things were progressing nicely and then Covid-19 hit and derailed all the progress we had made. We moved into our new home at the end of May and I can honestly say that without Kim and Kenny we would not be here. They have both been truly amazing. They have “virtually” held our hands throughout the process, have gone above and beyond their job descriptions, always responded promptly to our emails and calls (very often responding out of hours and on days off). Kim has chased the chain tirelessly and her can do attitude, good humour and professionalism have stood out. Your Walderslade Office is a credit to your company and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family in the area. I would be so grateful if you could pass on our deepest and sincerest thanks to your team, paying particular attention to Kenny and Kim because without them we would not now be enjoying our new home.

Having put off selling my house for quite awhile. Thanks to Covid 19 I had the time to sort out clothes and things for local charity shops, only draw back was not being able to take to the charities. Eventually I bit the bullet and gave Wards a call, Kenny George answered my call and after having a good chat and laugh we made an appointment to value my property. Although I was concerned about the clutter he put my mind at rest and we signed the sales agreement. A photographer visited property. As soon as house details were posted online with Wards viewings were booked. 5 people visited in total and within 3 days house was under offer. Once price was agreed I got in touch with Martin Toluston solicitors (think I've spelt right) as recommended by Wards. They responded the same day and agreed to representing my sale. I then got a call from Kim Batchelor at Wards who is the go between for seller, buyer and solicitors. I am happy to say that I have been well impressed with everyone involved in selling my house from the 3rd July until completion onthe 29th September everything went smoothly and Kim Batchelor kept myself and buyer informed of sale progress every week. If any of my friends or relatives were thinking of selling their property in Kent I would definitely recommend Wards to them. A big Thank You to everyone involved.

We bought through Wards and also used their mortgage advisor Colin who was better than the previous 3 advisors we spoke to! Kim dealt with the purchase perfectly once things were going through. Chasing and keeping me updated as often as I needed. She even spoke to me outside of her working hours. Kenny oversaw the whole thing with expertise. Ami was the person I need to thank the most for our move. She recommended the property to us and genuinely understood what we were looking for. I felt Ami was the best person we dealt with across all aspects of the move and I genuinely feel she is an asset to Wards. Majorly impressed. That's not to detract from the others, who were also superb.

Kenny George and his team at Walderslade - Sam, Terri, Ami, Jordan and Sue - were brilliant when it came to selling the house I owned with my ex-wife. Two previous buyers pulled out before we finally exchanged contracts and both times, Wards had arranged more viewing within days. Having accepted an offer, the baton was then handed to Kim Batchelor, the Senior Sales Co-ordinator, whose role it is to herd the various agents, buyer, sellers and their solicitors through the process to a successful conclusion. In this regard Kim was brilliant, but so too were Kenny and his team, remaining in constant touch and helping to unblock any obstacles. I think Wards operate an innovative and unique model and one other estate agents would do well to adopt. I would thoroughly recommend them.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I used wards for the sale of my home. The staff are really on the ball and know their stuff. I would like to say the lady who dealt with us after the house sold was amazing. Kim understands mental health which was great for me as Kim went that extra mile for me.

Kenny George, Kim Batchelor, and Sam Bahia went above and beyond to get my move completed and on the date that I requested! Kenny, then Kim spent the final week trying to move mountains up and down the chain to make it happen and they did not settle until they had. Kenny has been great since the outset and from the sale Kim has been great keeping me informed and things moving until completion.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

'Time is the most valuable commodity' and a key takeaway from my Wards of Walderslade experience is they are willing to give you as much of theirs as they can. Kenny George (Snr Branch Partner) and Sam Bahia (Snr Marketing Consultant) never put a property forward that did not meet our requirements and always made themselves available to us throughout the buying and selling process.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Fantastic service and speed! We purchased a house through Wards, they were efficient and very professional, always coming back to you when they said they would and pushing the sale forward. Particular thanks to Sam Bahia and Terri Truckle who relentlessly helped us exchange contracts prior to Christmas. I had my reservations about Wards from an experience around 5 years ago but clearly the team has changed and it definitely shows in a positive way.
