GoogleGreat experience selling and buying with Wards of Hythe recently. Dealt mainly with Mark Backhurst and Darren Cakebread but all the staff were lovely and very helpful if ever we needed to call. I would highly recommend their services, we had used them previously and didn't hesitate to go back to them when we decided to move.

GoogleBig Mark and Darren have been fantastic estate agents in our hunt for a property in the area. We were made to feel very confident and given a lot of useful information about the area and available properties--both pros and cons- and how to go about thinking about what we wanted to buy. We have had excellent advice from Big Mark and Darren and will feel very confident in using Wards at Hythe to find and buy our property here. Thankyou Big Mark and Darren!

GoogleI can thoroughly recommend Wards Estate Agents in Hythe. Their customer service, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile have exceed anything I have experienced in my many dealings with estate agents over the years.
We have been Selling a deceased relative's house which is five hours' drive away from where we live. The house had been seriously neglected, but we were not on hand to manage the several problems that would inevitably arise in the process. So it was vital to find an agent who was competent, proactive and whom we could trust.
Mark Backhurst, the manager, has kept an eye on the place for us, taken meter readings, and put us in touch with local tradesmen and services when we needed them. He helped arrange the house clearance, informed us when a window was broken by vandals, arranged for repairs and had additional locks fitted to improve security. Most recently he arranged for a drain specialist to investigate the blocked the main drain.

GoogleWard's of Hythe have been outstanding while selling my mum's house. Little Mark, big Mark and Darren have been so hard working and have earned Wards every penny of their commission with the amount of time they put into this sale. We had a couple of time wasters during the sale and the minute the buyer pulled out the branch had new viewings booked by the end of the day. They were so helpful and quite often I would phone them in despair about one thing or another but they were always happy to talk to me and help me with brilliant advice. They always called me straight back if I asked them to. I have no hesitation recommending them to sell your house. Superb!

GoogleOver the passed couple of months I have had the pleasure of selling a property with Wards of Hythe. Even before we proceeded with the sale proper, this agent was open to advice and guidance as how to go forward. They were recommended given the type of sale I had. In time, once we were ready they placed our property on the market. We came to market in late winter and things can be slow but people started viewing and now we've already completed. (We completed late February).
During this process I interacted with the whole team, I think, certainly 'Little' Mark. 'Big' Mark (who has since moved on), Darren, Masie and Chelsie. Not once did I worry about the support I received and the action taken by them. It only leaves me to thank each and every one of you, the Hythe team.
keep up the excellent work. Regards Lewis

GoogleWards and venders accepted our offer verbally and by email adding the property had been removed from the market.
Two days later rang and informed us that they had accepted an offer from someone else.

Ron Β· 27 August 2021
Agent replied Β· 13 June 2024
Dear Ron
Thank you for leaving your review. Whilst we fully appreciate both your frustration and disappointment, we are legally obliged to submit any offers received for a property to the seller up until an exchange of contracts has taken place, even if the property is no longer being actively marketed. On this occasion, another buyer submitted a higher offer with a shorter chain and consequently the seller decided to accept it.
We understand that this would have been disappointing and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused. We hope that you are able to secure the purchase of another property in the near future and we would of course be happy to continue assisting you in any way that we can.
Kind Regards
Wards
