We are currently looking to buy our first home - we walked into wards not knowing what we are doing or where to start.. We were immediately met by the amazing Chelsea who is desperately trying to find us something and she is going above and beyond to do so - I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you have done already.. We love your tenacity!

TrustpilotA diamond in a rough situation
In what was a tricky and drawn out move process, Rachael (and Emma in Rachael’s absence) of Wards was a shining light and the only true professional we worked with throughout the process. I don’t think we would have made it without her support. We are truly grateful in Rachael’s assistance in getting us into our home.

GoogleIt might depend on who you have - but for me I found my contact had a lot of charm and said the right thing, but you later discover it's lip service and they didn't follow through. My property was really badly marketed, and their priority seems to be to get everyone to sell via auction and put a lot of pressure on trying to get you to do this - even though this misses out on a lot of potential buyers.
I wished I'd looked around before I tried them - I wasted a lot of marketing time being with them, I should have just gone straight to another agency and got my property advertised elsewhere sooner.

GoogleWe recently went on a viewing with Alex, Wards viewing guide and must say I was very impressed with the level of knowledge Alex had about the property in Hawkinge we viewed. Very reassuring knowing the details she goes into seeing as I have my house on the market with Wards and Alex doing my viewings. Speaking of my property, I just wanted to also point out the professional manner in which Callam has dealt with the marketing. Has been prompt with advice and detailed in updates about my property and the market in general. Wards of Folkestone, I thank you and wish I could give 6 stars.

GoogleWe contacted Wards after a bad experience with Purple Bricks and Lucy Stocker came to see us. She was professional, informative and advised us the best way to sell our house. Initially we didn’t take her advice and viewing feedback was slow and negative. Once we took her advice the house sold within a week for a price we were happy with.
Listen to Lucy and you will sell your house!!
The whole team at the Folkestone branch kept regular contact and were also polite and helpful at all times…

GoogleBuying a property is one of the most stressful and longest experiences in life. I still don't understand how in 21st century modern UK purchases can take months or even years.

Thank you again and good luck!

She definitely sold the house to us! Throughout the process we had a large amount of contact with Callum who was able to answer any questions we had and also gave us a second viewing where he helped with measurements. All staff that we interacted with were friendly and helpful and made the first time buying process very smooth!
