GoogleOur house move turned out to be a rather long process and a bit stressful. But I would like to thank all the Wards team for their support especially Jodi Wyncell who kept us informed as to how things were proceeding and reassured us that all was progressing well, even if a bit slow. Would recommend Wards.

GoogleHaving dealt with a few estate agents locally, I would like to recommend Darren Cakebread at Wards of Hythe. He called to follow up on a conversation that we had regarding potentially selling our property. Talking us the the pros and cons and how we got on with the other agents.
Because of that we decided to go with Wards as it shows commitment and drive which we want in someone selling your property.
Thank you.

GoogleI have dealt with at least three people from Wards in Hythe. Their service would be better if the staff with différent roles communicated more with each other. Having said that, everyone I have spoken to from this office has been very polite and generally helpful.

GoogleFlorence was brilliant! She is hands down the best estate agent we have encountered in months of looking at houses. She was well informed, knowledgeable, offered advice, had gone out of her way to know about the property before viewings, gave us time and space to view and was friendly and approachable. Thank you for making the viewing such a great experience!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleThe team at Wards Hythe were amazing. They worked hard to sell our property, and even harder to keep the sale progressing to completion. They kept us in the loop, returned calls when asked to do so and frankly, I can't recommend them highly enough. This is the third house I have sold via this branch over the years and the service has always been fantastic.

GoogleWards of Hythe were extremely friendly and helpful. I had every confidence in them and they were great at liaising between me, (the buyer) and the seller. They really treat you as a human being, not just a quick sale. They were very helpful in helping me to buy my house as they knew how much it meant to me. Would highly recommend them for professional and compassionate service.

GoogleWe purchased a retirement property in Hythe for my elderly mother; a major upheaval for a woman who had been in her large, family home for fifty plus years.
There aren’t enough superlatives for Darren Cakebread in the Hythe branch of Wards. He was kind, understanding and gentle with my mother and pushed me to look at a property which I wasn’t initially interested in and which turned out to be the perfect flat. He dealt with solicitor complications and frustrations in a calm manner, kept in touch throughout the whole process and continues to check in to see how mum has settled. He went above and beyond for us through the entire process and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

GoogleMy dad sold his home with the Hythe Kent team last year, however, he suddenly past away the day before the sales completion date. Everything was put on hold while probate was applied for. I worked closely with Jodie, who was always at the end of the phone for any queries I had...I had loads...didnt understand most of what was going on around me. She was always friendly professional and answered all my concerns, I felt like I was dealing with friend. We have finally got everything sorted and I would like to thank the whole team for their support, efficiency, calling me back when I needed them... I know that may seem like small things, but when you are stressed and grieving, having someone who actually does what they say they will was a great comfort to me...I could carry on dealing with all the other things. Highly recommend all the service dad and I received. A big thank you to you all x
