Grace based in Rochester was particularly helpful in helping me find a place to rent. My personal circumstances for needing to rent were quite stressful and Grace made the entire process seamless and treated me with empathy. She got back to me in a timely fashion when she said she would and even found the time to help me with query on her day off because I was anxious about it. My experience throughout has been both professional and organised and I’m now looking forward to moving in shortly. Highly recommend.

My experience with Wards overall has been fantastic! Special shout out to Ann and Debbie. Ann was a delight to work with - she got me in to view the property I ended up buying SO quickly, super flexible with timings and the process from their side was seamless. Debbie was great at keeping me in the loop during the sales process and took the time to answer all my questions. Great communication and super supportive, I can't fault them and would recommend them to friends and family.

We came to Wards after our original estate agents let us down, after months of no information and being fobbed off with excuses we turned to wards and had a full price offer within weeks. Anne is AMAZING!!!!!!!! Our expectations were on the floor but Anne was so positive we were soon up and looking forward again with so much help and information why didn't we go to them first ?. We would also like to thank Geoff and Nancy so helpful if Anne wasn't around " Wards struck all the right chords ".

It's been 2 months since my house was sold with Wards but I feel the need to warn others about poor service received as, amongst other failings, they have put my kids in danger through lack of due diligence. Wards asked me to host a 2nd viewing with buyers who had supposedly attended a previous open day and wanted to measure up. I agreed for a date on Sunday. I had to hold the viewing as they do not have estate agents working Sundays. On the said day, the "buyers" were running late. There was no way of confirming if they were still coming as apparently the central team, who are the only ones that pick phones on Sunday do not hold contact details for appointments. The couple eventually turned up and it became apparent they had never viewed the house themselves - their family members had attended the open day. Wards subsequently allowed this couple to make an offer on my property, when it transpired they could not obtain a mortgage and never had an agreement in principle in place. Had I known this, I would have never had these people in my house, let alone hosted a viewing with my 2 young children present at the property!

I recently worked with David (Ashford)

I recently worked with David, the Lettings Manager in Ashford, to secure a tenant for my property, and the experience was outstanding. David took care of every detail with professionalism and expertise, making the whole process smooth and worry-free. He quickly found reliable tenants, handled all the necessary paperwork, and kept me informed at every step. His dedication and commitment to securing the right tenant were clear, and he went above and beyond to ensure a great outcome. I highly recommend David to any landlord looking for a seamless lettings experience. Thank you, David, for your fantastic service!

Maria from the West Malling branch was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was always friendly, professional and highly informative, keeping us updated and helping to put our minds at ease, particularly during the final week, when exchange and completion really came down to the wire! Her support and communication made a stressful time much easier. Thank you, Maria!

Professional and supportive staff from initial meeting to completion of dale

After researching, Wards of Tenterden were the obvious choice from the number of local sales. Alex the branch manager was our first point of contact. He explained all options clearly allowing us to make our choice without feeling pressured. From then our main point of contact was Becky. A superstar, local resident with a good knowledge of Tenterden. She has an absolutely great manner, is relaxed, whilst remaining professional and courteous at all times. Nothing felt too much trouble and she kept us fully informed of all visits and progress during the sale. She is a great asset to Wards.

I had a fantastic experience working with Ann McDonald and cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish she was extremely professional, highly organised, and attentive to every detail, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. She communicated clearly at every stage, kept everything on track, and was always available to answer questions promptly. Most importantly, Ann McDonald really listened to what I was looking for and took the time to understand my preferences, and thanks to her dedication and expertise she helped me find a property that I absolutely love. I would definitely recommend getting in touch with Wards Barnehurst!!

Well done Wards Lettings

We have used the services of Wards over many years for the sale and also rental of our properties. They have always been very professional and efficient. Our most recent business was regarding the rental of a property and the Rental Team dealt with this in a professional way right up to the point of the new tenant moving in. Molly was especially helpful from start to finish and kept us informed of the various potential tenants and worked with us to ensure we had the best applicant for our property and met with our requirements. A job well done 👏

Appalling from start to finish

Appalling from start to finishThe head of lettings appeared professional at the first meeting but it was steeply downhill from there. She went away and set up a number of viewings without bothering to tell me the date. The first I knew of the viewings was when the Wards person turned up to show people around.What’s more, the head of lettings didn’t bother to brief the colleague who managed the viewings, as a result of which I had to repeat to this person everything I had already said about the property and the rental.Wards then recommended a low-quality tenant (the only one they could find) who didn’t even meet the affordability criteria. The tenant proved troublesome and ultra-demanding and Wards simply accepted everything she complained about without any scrutiny. Wards seem to think that window latches and bathroom tiles break of their own accord. As a result, I ended up paying for the damage done by the tenant, which should rightly have been taken from the deposit.I gave Wards permission to switch the utility accounts, but they didn’t just switch the names, they also put the tenant onto a terrible tariff (in my view and that of the tenant) to earn a commission. Cheap, nasty and very unprofessional.There is so much more terrible service from Wards and Arun Estates, a name they try to hide under, there will be a second review.

Emily was an absolute dream to work with. She was friendly, approachable, and nothing was ever too much trouble. She kept us updated every step of the way and was always happy to answer any questions we had.

10/10 would reconmmend

Wards made selling my house an incredibly smooth transition. In particular, Honi and Maria were exceptional, warm, engaging, and truly understanding of my situation. They were always available for both big and small questions, and I genuinely valued their support throughout. I couldn’t have done it without their calm, caring approach. Thank you both you kept me sane!!

The most trustworthy Estate Agent in Kent with exceptional sales person

What an outstanding experience `we had buying a house with Wards in Hythe, Kent thank you. Having dealt with several estate agents during the process I can honestly say the service, help and support we got from your exceptional Team member, Darren Cakebread, was second none. Darren made the whole process stress free for us. He is one in a million. Never have I meet a more professional, kind, supportive, knowledgeable Sales person who listened to our requirements and matched them to the letter finding us our dream home. Thank you. Communication is so important and a passion for the role and Darren excelled at this. We were sent lots of potential properties, more than from any other agent, viewings were informative and a pleasure and I know for sure should we move again in the future Wards Hythe and Darren Cakebread will be our first choice over any other agent in Kent. I can not recommend you highly enough. Thanks again and please pass our gratitude to Darren.

Ask for Lucy

I cannot recommend Lucy enough! From the moment I enlisted her help, she went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience, even while I was away. Lucy not only put my mind at ease but also took the initiative to organise multiple contractors for me, making the entire process stress-free. Her dedication was evident when she sold my home in less than two weeks, before it even officially hit the market! She found multiple buyers, demonstrating her exceptional skills and proactive approach. Throughout, Lucy was polite, respectful, and always brought a great sense of humour to the table, which made working with her an absolute pleasure.She expertly guided me through the entire process, keeping me informed at every step. Lucy’s professionalism, warmth, and commitment to her clients set her apart, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. If you’re looking for an estate agent who delivers outstanding results while making the process easy and enjoyable, Lucy is the one to choose!

I had a viewing with an outstanding Sales Rep ( Lila Chivers) She is a true professional who has a passion for her job. She is welcoming and very calm. We had the whole day of viewing and this was made interesting because of a Gem called Lila. I would say WARDS have found a true professional who would lift up the image of the company. Lila all the best to you and your team. Many thanks Mrs BABSON

Staff at the Tenterden Office of Ward’s Estate Agents

The staff at the Tenterden office of Ward’s Estate Agents, especially Becky & Alex, couldn’t have been more helpful & professional in selling our property.The sale’s brochure was excellent, all staff were always extremely friendly and polite, and went out of their way to not only make themselves fully conversant with every detail of our property, but also all the benefits of its location. As a consequence they weren’t just able to sell the house quickly, but also to the right purchaser for us, a family with no property to sell and no chain.In particular we can’t praise Becky highly enough for the exceptional service she provided in persuading the purchaser to view our house when they were more Interested in another area. Incidentally she made such a good job of the sale, that the new owners are highly delighted with their purchase.

Alex and Tina did a fantastic job…

Alex and Tina did a fantastic job selling my property. The property was on for only a week with dozens of viewers lined and and an offer around the week mark. Alex and Tina were priceless in managing the soft elements of the legalities of the sale. As our buyers were first time buyers they were not sure what to do or what to expect; frankly their solicitor wasn’t much help and it was Alex and Tina guiding them on what they had to do and what to instruct their solicitor to do. Without them I’m sure we’ll still be on the market.

Nervous first timer for house purchase

As a first timer for house purchase I was nervous and unsure what to expect. Maisie M-J at Wards was assigned to me. Cant say a bad word about her, She was friendly yet professional, nothing was too much trouble for her. She answered all my queries, several times and if she didn't know the answer outright she found it out. Maisie talked me through the process of making an offer and subsequent actions, information on surveyors, stamp duty and such. Unfortunately the sale did not go through but Maisie kept in touch to offer further help and support. She put me at ease of the whole situation.
