From the minute of putting in the offer all the way through to completion day, they where so professional and helpful, they kept me updated every couple of days and helped chase solicitors / vendors. Would definatley recommend buying through them!

Liars and Cheats

Liars and Cheats. They claimed they had received funds for a Tenancy Rental of 6 months, and then gave me an indemnity form to sign which invalidated my insurance. They didn't receive the funds and the Tenant did not, and has not paid for 6 months +. Still waiting for a Possession Order & Bailiffs to remove a Tenant which they put in my property. I've lost over £6,000 and counting. They cannot manage property rentals, do not give them your property to manage, use others in Kent. Anyone but Wards!

Ashford Lettings - Lee is fabulous!

My husband and I had exceptional service all thanks to Lee from Ashford lettings. He was extremely efficient, knowledgeable and ensured the whole experience was really smooth. Moving in has been a breeze and we are really grateful for the time and energy put into making things so easy. We would definitely use Wards again!

After a couple of unsuccessful attempts to sell our house, we decided to give Wards Ashford office the job. They sold it with a minimum of fuss (even during this difficult time), lots of reassurance and humour, couldn't have asked for more. Particular thanks to Tim and Julia for keeping my stress levels down and making me laugh !

I just want to show my appreciation to your team especially George. His communication with me has been fantastic throughout this procedure and has explained things to me that I was uncertain about. I have managed to get the house sorted and new tenants in starting today. I also want to thank Kaan for going to great lengths and spending so much time with me, to help. I am truly grateful and thankful to you all.

Recently started renting through Wards estate agents and found them so helpful and efficient especially Tamila, the lovely young lady who was dealing with us. Always happy to help, nothing was too big or small, always at the end of the phone and called back promptly if ever she was unavailable when I called. Which just made the whole experience stress free. I would definitely recommend this estate agent to friends and family.

Just a Valuation

I popped into New Romney Branch on an off chance to see as to whether I could get a valuation, I believe it was Jake I spoke too who was extremely helpful felt I’d known for years. Took all my details and advised that it would be Hythe branch that would carry out the valuation and that he would pass all the details over. I even offered to pay as I am not selling the property, but advised it was a free service. Mark from Hythe contacted me to confirm an appointment time, very efficient I thought and on day of appointment was followed by a further call to confirm time of attendance.Mark was spot on time and again was so helpful gave me a verbal valuation then confirmed I would receive a written valuation which I did. Indeed was the same day TOP MARKS to WARDS in Hythe and New Romney. If I do sell will not hesitate to use wards.Leon Blackett

Karla Fields at Wards of Kent

Karla at Wards has been fantastic. She has worked through complex roof repair work with me until she found a suitable contractor and solution. So good to have this support, she is always friendly, helpful and explains everything I need to know. Thank you Karla.

Ask for Maria and you will be well taken care of!

I am incredibly satisfied with my experience at Wards. As an American, I was very nervous about navigating the real estate market in the UK. Maria made the process as easy and efficient as possible! She walked me through all the steps, and made me feel comfortable with the entire process. Maria went above and beyond to help me find a place that fit my needs! She was available any time I had questions, and she took the time to find a property that fit all my criteria and not just the next one that came available. I would have been lost without her knowledge and expertise. It was an overall exceptional experience, and I will absolutely use Wards again for all my future housing needs.

Many thanks to Laura and Tony of Wards Lettings. Laura came to see me at 11am to discuss my requirements. I had a phone call at 6.15pm, with two offers, to rent my property for 12 months, at the full rental price. The property has now been rented, with literally no input from myself and hassle free.

Fantastic work thank you Jodi Wyncoll- Sales Progressor @ Wards Dover

We have just exchanged contracts on our new house it has taken several months to get to this day more to do with our related sale than our purchase. Jodi’s support, tenacity and hard work got us there !!!. Communication as always is key and Jodi kept us updated all the time.We had a number of issues with our sale and whilst sadly we did not receive the same service for the sale Jodi got involved and ensured everything possible was done .

Excellent experience

Excellent experience. From day one when I booked to view a property, Aaron Stoner was amazing. So polite over the phone, efficient and professional at all time. When it came to meeting with him in person, all my questions where answered and he managed to secure me and my family a lovely home to move into within a matter of weeks. My experience as a whole was excellent and I thank the whole of the Wards Team for that.

I've literally just picked up the keys to my new house! Wards were amazing from the get go and considering I originally went in for a mortgage advisor meeting they found me my dream home that same day. Took less than a week looking with them to find what I wanted and they've been fantastic the whole way through. Friendly, helpful and genuinely looking for something we loved. 100% would recommend, especially for 1st time buyers as they will answer any and all questions you have. Super cute welcome box too 😊

I found Wards Estate agents to be professional, friendly and extremely prompt in helping me sort out my house for letting, and also when responding to my many emails. They organised my viewings very quickly and they found me tenants very soon after my house was advertised. Their photography was so professional and looked great. I found them a pleasure to work with and they provided me with lots of advice which really helped when sorting out my house. They were patient, and absolutely lovely to work with. :)

The worst letting agency ever!!!

The worst letting agency ever!!!Our experience with them did not start well. The initial offer was declined because the evaluation company made a mistake which they owned up to and apologized, but Wards during the process was an absolute pain. No help from them in trying to get more information from the evaluation company to straight up lying to us about the results. It took us two days on the phone with the evaluation company and Wads to get it sorted. In the end, we still decided to continue with the offer. The first day we got the keys, moved in and immediately we noticed that one key was not there. We called the office of Wards Letting and their response was, we don't deliver keys to homes, you need to pick it up yourself, which my response was. It is your job to provide all the necessary keys/paperwork,... to us not that we need to beg you to get it for us. To this day we still don't have all the necessary keys. After a few days, we contacted them and filled out a damage report that the refrigerator was not working properly and there was damage to the bathtub which needed to be fixed. We submitted the damage report and immediately we saw that it was resolved in their dashboard. We call them and they say they did that so they can do both tasks at once. We said okay, and left it. A month and a half passed by no update, we called again and they said it was marked resolved, we were like no it did not resolve itself on its own, so they restarted the case and after basically 2.5 months both cases were resolved. Now we come to the main problem that we are dealing with their incompetence. The gas bill was delivered for them to our address for our address, and because we were not the recipient we are not allowed to open it. We changed the operator and tried to close the account at British Gas which we could not do as we never had an account with them and their response was, we don't have your information, someone else has already an account on this address so there is nothing for you to do. This leads us back to the gas bill which we got but was addressed to Wards. We called them, there are important letters for you here, their response again we don't do that, you need to deliver it to our offices if you want to. We said we are not your mailman, get it sorted in the post so that you get mail addressed to you. A couple of months passed by and because the gas bill was not paid, we got more letters about late payments and also from debt collectors. We called them again, notified them and the same story. One day we were going into the city and we said let's take the letters of Wards to Wards, because they were piling up. Well, we got an email from them that we need to pay a fine from the debt collector, which they were like you know which one? We don't know, you have the mail which we delivered to you, send us what was in the letters. The person handling this did not even respond to the mail in which I asked to get the scans for two weeks, we then called them again and he played as he knew nothing about it, that the other person had them and will send them over. It took again couple of days to get the scans, and to be honest it would have taken longer if we had not called their office every day. No sense of urgency on their part. We got the scans, reviewed it, and called the debt collectors, they say it is not addressed to you, so Wards has the problem, not you. I also tried to explain to Wards, that this is their fault, that the penalty occurred, as if they had their mail sorted they would get the bill from the gas provider and contact us. The person dealing with this was it is your fault, you should cancel the contract which I tried to explain again and again, we did try that, we had no contract with them as you guys had it. It is so exosting dealing with this person because he just does not listen at all. At the end he said it is no one fault, well BUDY someone has to pay for a mistake so NO, someone is at fault. At the end we paid the whole sum because we decided we do not want to deal with them anymore. You would think it will end here. We got another letter from debt collectors, again addressed to them and they still have the nerve to say can you deliver it to the office. Well no, the person should have arrived already, sent an email I will come at this time, but no one came. Got another email with more dates when he can come, no sorry that we could not pick up the letter, nothing. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS LETTING AGENCY, YOU WILL REGRET IT.Additionally:Your response tells me that you did not even try to find me in your system, because it should not be that hard. Hint, you have access to your employee's emails, try there.The letter was picked up, but two weeks later no response from you guys on what was the content of the letter. Really working hard!

Kings Hill Branch

We had been mucked around by Connells estate agents (who were terrible) and the house we initially wanted fell through. Very stressed, we contacted Wards kings hill branch and they were straight on it. We dealt with Connor H. Connor was amazing! Every house viewing we went to, he was on time, professional and had great knowledge. He didn’t seem like the typical “sell sell sell” estate agent, he was very friendly and down to earth. He found us a house before it went on the market and got us in asap. It’s now the house we call home! His communication skills were amazing, he would respond to our emails immediately, he would call with updates, he would chase solicitors etc. Even after the sell, he still contacted us to make sure the move went smoothly. We needed to buy in a hurry and he made everything go along very quickly. I would highly recommend Wards, they are probably the best estate agents we have dealt with. They are honest with you, rather than treating you like a number. The branch manager Neil was also extremely helpful and professional. George was another selling agent we saw, who again, was great! Kings Hill Wards, big thumbs up!

If I could give more Stars I would!🙌🏻

For the past couple of Months, myself and my husband and been looking for a house to buy. I stumbled upon a house and that’s when I got introduced to Alex Martin. She was amazing throughout the whole process. I have now found a house unfortunately not through wards however, the customer service from Alex was brilliant, consistently sending me new houses which were all within my price range and the ideal property we had spoken about for us. Nothing was too much for her, managing to get me several viewings for all in the same day so it was easier on us. I would 100% recommend using Wards. Thank you so much🙂

The team were always friendly and quick to respond to any questions I had, the communication was faultless. Would highly recommend them to others.
