A Job Well Done

Thank you to George Jordan (Barnehurst Branch) and Debbie Brewer ( Sales Coordinator) for assisting us with our recent house move, be that it was a move completed under the most unprecedented circumstances, due Covid-19 situation.From beginning to end, their support and guidance made our big decision to move house that much more manageable and less stressful, at times. George and Debbie were always on hand to respond with due courtesy and professionalism to any queries we may have raised throughout the sale and conveyance process.

As a first time landlord

As a first time landlord with my newly refurbished pension fund. I was very cautious about which agent to choose. There are cheaper options but I believe you get what you pay for. I should mention I spoke to a lady called Grace some months earlier regarding the best colour schemes, flooring options etc to get the best chance of a decent tenant.When the property was nearly completed I spoke to Laura, a very knowledgeable helpful lady who came to the property, explained various options and left it to me. No hard sell.I contacted the Lettings team, spoke to Grace, a very bubbly lady with a great ‘can do’ attitude. Despite my flurry of calls asking all the questions you expect from a new landlord, nothing was to much trouble.If Laura or Grace we’re out of the office then the calls were always returned promptly.I had a flow of emails keeping in the loop regarding viewings, offers, due process etc. Any hitches were soon sorted.As of today, the house is rented. It has taken a year for the building works and refurb to be done, it takes time being disabled! But I can honestly say without the help of particularly Grace and Laura I don’t think it would be.They are a credit to Wards, and if I was still running my business I would have head hunted both of them!Wards and team - how it should be done.

I cannot thank Jade and Michele at the New Ash Green office enough. Jade managed to me the best valuation by far, matched a buyer quickly and I got full asking price to 1st viewer. Support through process was truly amazing. Michele the sales progressor delivered professional and friendly updates during the very difficult transaction I can’t thank these girls enough and have already recommended them to a friend. Nothing was too much trouble and I’m so grateful for all their hard work and commitment

Ask for Dani at Ramsgate -- 5 stars

Dani in their Ramsgate office has been so helpful. My father and I had been looking for properties for some time and had a bad experience with a number of estate agents -- shoddy offices, aggressive sales, slow communication. Dani at Wards Ramsgate was totally the opposite. So prompt and helpful -- always ready to speak on the phone, answers emails quickly, gives great advice (in layman's terms!) about the steps one needs to take in what's a v. confusing process for a first-time buyer. She's been a godsend. If I ever sell the place I'm currently buying I'll do it through Wards' Ramsgate branch.

Received amazing customer service and care!

Received amazing customer service and care from the Ramsgate branch of Wards. Maria Byrne was the agent responsible for helping me find a new property and she couldn't have worked harder. Mine was an unusual situation, but Maria did not let this phase her and she worked relentlessly on my behalf to secure the tenancy for me. She was also on hand to provide advice and information about the local area. I cannot express enough how positive this whole experience was for me. Thank you Maria - Wards are lucky to have a staff member like you!

Out and out shabby service

On 7th September I booked a viewing of a rental property in Greenhithe, Kent advertised by Wardsofkent.There was no photo of the bedroom and I was told someone will go to the property later that day, take the photo and let me know. I rang a couple of times and there was still no news of photo but each time I was told my booking was still there. On 9th September I spoke to Marina first thing in the morning. She told me she would call me in an hour's time. She did not so I called the number again after 2 hours. This time she said she was out doing viewings and she was running late. I told her I hope she would not forget to call she said she would not. I did not hear back. I called again at 3pm and this time I spoke to Sunil who said there is still no photo available but yes my booking at 11am the next day was still in the diary. I told Sunil we were travelling a long way to view the property; my daughter  from Hastings and me from London. That our 11.30 viewing was cancelled and I asked if this viewing could therefore be moved to 11.30. He said that would depend on whether they could contact the tenant. He asked me if I wanted to cancel the booking to which I said no and that we would be there at 11.00am the next day as planned. Got to London road, Greenhithe as per plan and called the agency. Person who answered the phone said she didnt know why no one let me know that the viewing was cancelled. I said I was very dissatisfied with the service and she said she was sorry. I was very tempted to go the agency and tell them exactly how I was feeling about the service we received but decided against it mainly because of Covid restrictions but also because it was more important to give the time to write this review instead.

Imarna at Wards in Dartford has been extremely helpful in finding a home for my partner and I. As first time buyers we were very nervous and apprehensive and Imarna was very friendly and personable and made us feel at ease. We told her everything we wanted in a house and was unsure if she could find anything close to our specifications. The day we met her we had a booking already and she told us about another house we didn't even consider and low and behold it was the perfect house for us. We fell in love it and this just proves how well Imarna listened to us and took our thoughts and specs into consideration. Without Imarna's help we would never have even looked the house. Now our offer has been accepted we couldn't be any happier. So thank you so much Imarna for your help and knowing your clients so well 😊

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Debbie for her support, commitment, persistence and professionalism that she provided in the sale and purchase of our properties through Wards. She was fantastic and defiantly deserves the recognition. We didn't realise there would be an addition service provided by Wards after we’d marketed and sold our home with them. Having Debbie deal with it so efficiently has been a huge bonus. We know it hasn't been the easiest transaction but Debbie and this service have certainly made it easier for us. So thank you!!!

Kim has been a God sent

Kim has been a God sent! Without her perseverance and “can do” attitude, the whole chain would have fallen apart.She is a true professional. It is evident that she loves her job and she loves her clients to the point where she strives to keep everybody informed not just by emails but she adds that personal touch by making phone calls to update and reassure us that all will be well in the end. She is relentless in her efforts to resolve every problem for all the clients involved. She does all of this cheerfully and professionally.I run to pick up the phone when I see her call because I know hope is not lost and she is winning on our behalf. When she was on holiday, she was greatly missed, nobody else could fill that massive gap, I was counting the days knowing and saying that when Kim returns she will kick the doors down and she did kick the doors down.KIM IS AN ASSET TO WARDS SHE DESERVES A MEDAL!!MY DAUGHTER SAYS KIM IS SPECTACULAR AND SHE SURE IS.I can’t thank you enough Kim God bless you.

Our experience with Wards has been fantastic. Renting a property has been quite challenging with many people wanting to move during these times however thanks to Alex Lewis we managed to find our dream house. I cannot speak highly enough about Alex who was been incredibly helpful and supportive. His professionalism, dedication and "going above and beyond" ethic is exemplary.We cannot express how much we can recommend him. He has been absolutely faultless to this point so we have high hopes for the rest of our journey!Thank you Alex and Wards!From two very excited and grateful new tenants,Iulia & Ionut

Positive and happy experience using Wards.

This is our first experience of selling a property using an Estate Agent. For us, it has been an unexpected, nice surprise. From the beginning, Wards offered a different approach, whereby their main priority was finding us our next dream home. Abbie Robertson has been excellent throughout the process, finding out exactly what we were looking for and then going about finding us it. Her and the team, then went about ensuring our house found it's soon to be, new owner efficiently and quickly, in order to make the process a success. Throughout this period of time, we have been really impressed with all of the team, especially Abbie, as they have worked really hard to make things run as smoothly as possible. We are hopeful of a positive outcome for all. Many thanks.

Feed back about my telephone discussion with Milly

I contacted Wards Estate Agent in Dartford few weeks ago. I spoke to a lovely lady Milly. She was very professional on the phone. I told her the type of house am looking for and all that. I viewed my first property last Saturday and Milly called and sent message to know about the my experience. she followed up by left message on my mobile phone and also sent a text message to me. she really wants to feedback from me. Milly is enjoying her job very well. she Speaks with passion on the phone with me each time i call the office. She is a star. I have not even seen her but talking to her on the shows she is a lovely lady. She has great customer service skills. She listens to customer and then talk back with clarity. Well Milly. Keep the good work going. you are a great blessing to your company.Ade

Highly recommend for buying and selling

We used Wards and their team for the purchase and sale of our new property and are very happy with the results. Holly Smith was excellent in keeping us up to date with new properties on the market and connecting interested buyers with our property. Special thanks also goes to Vicky for assisance with getting our property to Market and Mark Boyle for managing the process from start to finish and keeping everything moving during lockdown.Our progressor Tina Styance kept us up to date with the progress of all elements on our sale and purchase and deserves extra special thanks for answering many many phone calls in the last few weeks to finally exchange contracts.I would highly recommend Wards to anyone looking to buy or sell property and they would be my first phone call in the future if we ever wish to buy or sell property again.

Wards Lower Gillnigham

Selling a property both sides of lockdown was very frustrating and a long process. Wards and especially Kim Batchelor provided a superb service, always replying in good time, always keeping me informed. Friendly and positive throughout and when needed made things happen. The whole process in retrospect was smooth albeit it drawn out due to lockdown but the professional help and calming words made it all much easier! Thanks for a 5 star service in these difficult times for everyone!!!!

Dubious, untrustworthy and zero integrity. Please avoid!

Avoid this dubious, untrustworthy and awful company at all costs. Wards took an alternative offer to a seller after I had instructed solicitors following acceptance of my offer. I should have known they use dubious tactics after I offered the full guide price and Wards quickly suggested the seller needed more money, despite the fact we were the only offer being considered. Following acceptance of the offer, I was asked by Wards to instruct the solicitors they recommended (they receive a referral fee) at the earliest opportunity. Two days later, Wards called and informed me they had taken another offer to the seller, bypassing our sale agreement and demonstrating a complete lack of integrity. The alternative offer was accepted, the sale fell through and I am currently out of pocket as a result of a desperate clamber to boost a senior managers commission. If you want to sell your home, please use an alternative firm to ensure that your home is being sold by people with a moral compass. If you want to buy a home, please avoid going through Wards, as they simply can’t be trusted.

Wards, New Ash Green, Kent

We highly recommend Jade and her team. Not having moved house for 23 years we were a bit rusty on how the whole things works in the internet age! Jade at all times explained things clearly, was always contactable, always positive and knowledgeable. Moving house is indeed as stressful as people say - we had forgotten that too - but we have nothing but good memories of our interaction with Jade and the team. A wonderful service.

Excellent Service

My partner and I recently moved out into our first rental property, and from start to finish the process with Lee from Wards Lettings in Ashford was fantastic. He was really polite, helpful and friendly and we couldn't have asked for a better advisor. I had quite a few questions being the first time we have rented, and he was always happy to help and answer my questions. Thank you for giving us such a great first experience!

I've recently let out my property through Shanur Ali at Wards of Dartford as a first time landlord. The service from Shanur has been fantastic from start to finish, and he has ensured that what could well have been quite a difficult process due to COVID-19, has actually been very simple and efficient. He has always acted professionally and has been quick to answer any questions I've had as well as keeping me fully updated throughout the process. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Shanur to anyone that is considering wanting to let out their property.

Amazing service from Jodie and Prateek

Jodie and Prateek was absolutely great, Jodie was very polite, helpful and professional over the telephone booking our viewing appointment, following up and helping me with the process. Prateek showed us around the property and informed us with everything we needed to know while being friendly and professional. Thank you to both of you we had a very pleasant experience!

And then Covid-19 hit ......

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 towards 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.

Tony in Lettings

We went through Wards for a rental property and our experience was flawless. Tony in Lettings guided us through the whole process. Even though we was due to move into the property during the coronavirus lockdown first come into force, he really went the extra mile to ensure we could move in earlier than anticipated, but most of all in a safely manner. Tony was always on hand to answer any queries we had and nothing was ever too much trouble. I would really recommend Wards but most of all Tony who is a credit to Wards. Thank you so much 😊

Wards of Dartford

To be honest if we could give 0 stars we would have. We were first time buyers purchasing a house through Wards Dartford. The experience overall was horrendous. Obviously we were purchasing a house during COVID so not ideal and no one can be blamed for that. But not once did we ever have a courtesy phone call. Every time I called it was like I was annoying them. Also they never had any updates I had to find out our latest updates elsewhere! They had no clue! I ended up informing them most of the time. They are too busy to talk, don't seem to care. Everyone else is a priority. Even from the start they played us off against other buyers to get more commission (obviously it's part of the role but doing it with a bit more skill would have been smoother)It is very frustrating to write this review as it brings back all the annoying times over the last 6 months. For all Wards of Dartford know we could currently not be sitting in our new house... On moving day it got so late they decided we should go and meet the seller to collect the keys taking them out of the equation and they never even checked up on us after. 10 days later not one courtesy phone call. Disgusting to be honest. Hand on heart we would actually not buy our future dream home if Wards of Dartford were selling it. That's how painful it was.
