TrustpilotWell done Wards Lettings
We have used the services of Wards over many years for the sale and also rental of our properties. They have always been very professional and efficient. Our most recent business was regarding the rental of a property and the Rental Team dealt with this in a professional way right up to the point of the new tenant moving in. Molly was especially helpful from start to finish and kept us informed of the various potential tenants and worked with us to ensure we had the best applicant for our property and met with our requirements. A job well done 👏

TrustpilotAppalling from start to finish
Appalling from start to finishThe head of lettings appeared professional at the first meeting but it was steeply downhill from there. She went away and set up a number of viewings without bothering to tell me the date. The first I knew of the viewings was when the Wards person turned up to show people around.What’s more, the head of lettings didn’t bother to brief the colleague who managed the viewings, as a result of which I had to repeat to this person everything I had already said about the property and the rental.Wards then recommended a low-quality tenant (the only one they could find) who didn’t even meet the affordability criteria. The tenant proved troublesome and ultra-demanding and Wards simply accepted everything she complained about without any scrutiny. Wards seem to think that window latches and bathroom tiles break of their own accord. As a result, I ended up paying for the damage done by the tenant, which should rightly have been taken from the deposit.I gave Wards permission to switch the utility accounts, but they didn’t just switch the names, they also put the tenant onto a terrible tariff (in my view and that of the tenant) to earn a commission. Cheap, nasty and very unprofessional.There is so much more terrible service from Wards and Arun Estates, a name they try to hide under, there will be a second review.

Thank you for your feedback and positive comments about your initial meeting and please accept our apologies for miscommunications regarding viewing appointments. Your tenant passed referencing and affordability checks before moving into the property. Unfortunately the maintenance issues they reported were classed as general wear and tear and were therefore the landlord’s responsibility to rectify.Our Customer Support team would be happy to discuss your concerns further and can be contacted by calling 01702 540802 or emailing customer.support@arunestates.co.uk

Emily was an absolute dream to work with. She was friendly, approachable, and nothing was ever too much trouble. She kept us updated every step of the way and was always happy to answer any questions we had. Her professionalism, communication, and support throughout the process were fantastic, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Wards made selling my house an incredibly smooth transition. In particular, Honi and Maria were exceptional, warm, engaging, and truly understanding of my situation. They were always available for both big and small questions, and I genuinely valued their support throughout. I couldn’t have done it without their calm, caring approach. Thank you both you kept me sane!!

TrustpilotThe most trustworthy Estate Agent in Kent with exceptional sales person
What an outstanding experience `we had buying a house with Wards in Hythe, Kent thank you. Having dealt with several estate agents during the process I can honestly say the service, help and support we got from your exceptional Team member, Darren Cakebread, was second none. Darren made the whole process stress free for us. He is one in a million. Never have I meet a more professional, kind, supportive, knowledgeable Sales person who listened to our requirements and matched them to the letter finding us our dream home. Thank you. Communication is so important and a passion for the role and Darren excelled at this. We were sent lots of potential properties, more than from any other agent, viewings were informative and a pleasure and I know for sure should we move again in the future Wards Hythe and Darren Cakebread will be our first choice over any other agent in Kent. I can not recommend you highly enough. Thanks again and please pass our gratitude to Darren.

TrustpilotAsk for Lucy
I cannot recommend Lucy enough! From the moment I enlisted her help, she went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience, even while I was away. Lucy not only put my mind at ease but also took the initiative to organise multiple contractors for me, making the entire process stress-free. Her dedication was evident when she sold my home in less than two weeks, before it even officially hit the market! She found multiple buyers, demonstrating her exceptional skills and proactive approach. Throughout, Lucy was polite, respectful, and always brought a great sense of humour to the table, which made working with her an absolute pleasure.She expertly guided me through the entire process, keeping me informed at every step. Lucy’s professionalism, warmth, and commitment to her clients set her apart, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. If you’re looking for an estate agent who delivers outstanding results while making the process easy and enjoyable, Lucy is the one to choose!

I had a viewing with an outstanding Sales Rep ( Lila Chivers) She is a true professional who has a passion for her job. She is welcoming and very calm. We had the whole day of viewing and this was made interesting because of a Gem called Lila. I would say WARDS have found a true professional who would lift up the image of the company. Lila all the best to you and your team. Many thanks Mrs BABSON

TrustpilotStaff at the Tenterden Office of Ward’s Estate Agents
The staff at the Tenterden office of Ward’s Estate Agents, especially Becky & Alex, couldn’t have been more helpful & professional in selling our property.The sale’s brochure was excellent, all staff were always extremely friendly and polite, and went out of their way to not only make themselves fully conversant with every detail of our property, but also all the benefits of its location. As a consequence they weren’t just able to sell the house quickly, but also to the right purchaser for us, a family with no property to sell and no chain.In particular we can’t praise Becky highly enough for the exceptional service she provided in persuading the purchaser to view our house when they were more Interested in another area. Incidentally she made such a good job of the sale, that the new owners are highly delighted with their purchase.

TrustpilotAlex and Tina did a fantastic job…
Alex and Tina did a fantastic job selling my property. The property was on for only a week with dozens of viewers lined and and an offer around the week mark. Alex and Tina were priceless in managing the soft elements of the legalities of the sale. As our buyers were first time buyers they were not sure what to do or what to expect; frankly their solicitor wasn’t much help and it was Alex and Tina guiding them on what they had to do and what to instruct their solicitor to do. Without them I’m sure we’ll still be on the market.

TrustpilotNervous first timer for house purchase
As a first timer for house purchase I was nervous and unsure what to expect. Maisie M-J at Wards was assigned to me. Cant say a bad word about her, She was friendly yet professional, nothing was too much trouble for her. She answered all my queries, several times and if she didn't know the answer outright she found it out. Maisie talked me through the process of making an offer and subsequent actions, information on surveyors, stamp duty and such. Unfortunately the sale did not go through but Maisie kept in touch to offer further help and support. She put me at ease of the whole situation.

TrustpilotDiabolically bad service.
Diabolically bad service.Made several promises about how soon I could move in that went unfulfilled. Then when I did move in the flat was a mess, they hadn't cleaned the bath room and even left the shower filter covered in the previous tents crusty old hair in the bathroom for me to clean. I still have no milky after living here for three months and chasing them up constantly. There was no move in guide with the basics on things such as bins electricity etc. They are no help at all with anything.

Dear Mr YoungThank you for your feedback. We understand how disappointing it must have been to find out that your move in date was delayed due to works required at the property. We are sorry to learn that the property was not cleaned to the required standard by the previous occupant and could have rectified this for you if it was reported when you moved in. We can see that our branch staff are chasing the management company to help you resolve the issue with your mailbox key and regret that only they can organise this. Please be assured that the branch staff will continue to assist you with any additional queries you have.Kind regards Wards

TrustpilotDisgruntled Customer
I did a viewing with Abigail and I was treated very unfairly, 1. I was not even shown where to park my car ended up parking on the road just on the drive way. 2. She made the appointment but upon arrival she asked for my name so what was the point of the booking? If one has an appointment booked I assume both parties know who they are meeting at that particular time. 3. I asked if it was ok where I had parked and her response was ‘you have to view and make it quick’ how do I make it quick yet I am here to view and to make proper decisions???4. I wrote her an email after view and she never acknowledged. 5. Her body language and character showed that I was just wasting her time and I knew I was not going to get the place to rent and yes she did send an unfortunate you did not make it this time.I am not sure if there is discrimination or it was just my unlucky day. Viewing was in Downwood Grampian Way Kent with Abigail Cantrell

TrustpilotFell short of 5 Stars!
I would have liked to left 5 stars, but from the outset and throughout the sale process, there were a number of minor niggly issues that made me feel dissatisfied. Calls were rarely returned and there were issues with the for sale board. There were also issues with the property description, which I had to raise for correction. Having said this the property sold quickly, so on that point alone well done Wards of Barnehurst.

Sales ProgressionMaria Meddings was our Senior Sales Progressor for our recent purchase. Coming into the UK from the US we weren't aware that this was a role! But I am so grateful that Maria was assigned to us. She kept on top of both parties to ensure that progress was constant; and communicated early and often. It helped us to understand the labyrinthine process of buying a house in the UK.

What raised our opinion of Wards in Tenterden was the involvement of Rachael Ruocco Buchanan. She was very professional and kept us informed without any need to prompt her.
