Monika was incredibly helpful

Monika was incredibly helpful she was patient and knowledgeable. She had excellent advice and really listened to what we was looking for. She went above and beyond and found a property for us at a different wards branch that ticked all the boxes. I had a bad opinion of wards until meeting her and she change my opinion, so much so that she actually gained additional bussiness as i advised a family member to use wards to sell his property.

Professional with Excellent Communication

Recently purchased a period property through Wards of Ramsgate. The service I received was excellent, the staff were professional and friendly. Communication was first rate, even if I had to leave a message it was always acted on and Amanda Robinson (not in the Ramsgate office) would follow through with a call and speedy assistance. A shout out to James from the Ramsgate branch, he was an absolute super star! So helpful and accommodating, very professional with great communication skills. This was so appreciated as I was moving to a completely new county and area.

I have been renting a property from…Wards Lettings of Kent

I have been renting a property from Wards Lettings for the last 3 and a half years. They are diligent and obliging along with being so professional, in so many ways. I highly recommend them. Over these years, whenever I've had to make telephone calls, the person I've spoken to has been kind, charming and listens, responding in a friendly, satisfying manner. I enjoy speaking to Emmet when I pay my rent, via telephone. Also Will. The staff I've met, in person, including, Tammy and Laura has been a pleasure, both of whom, have treated me in a friendly, caring & personable manner. Sadly, I have to re-locate, due to commute distance. Finally....such a huge mention of respect to Billy Flynn...this Man has showed me such respect, he listens, reacts in an amiable, friendly manner, so rare these days. Billy is such a warm-hearted Gentleman...."Nuff Respect" Sir. I had a problem.. never have I experienced such a compassionate response in a business capacity. He listens and responds so reassuringly. I haven't met him, in person, however, that's how it feels via telephone. Billy is a fantastic ambassador for Wards Of Kent. I truly wish His career prospers. Warmest Regards, Billy and Wards.

Excellent service from Abigail Cantrell at the Maidstone branch. We needed to find tenants for our property as we are moving abroad and Abigail made it stress free and easy for us. It’s a massive weight lifted off of our shoulders and couldn’t have done it without her! Would recommend wards to anyone after such brilliant service from start to finish.

As a renter for 20 years, I'm finally in the market for my first home as a single buyer. It's an exciting, yet daunting step, and Steve at Wards Maidstone has been supporting me on this journey. He's been communicative, candid, and positive as I navigate this learning curve, and search for my forever home. He's also ensured that I have in place a trustworthy mortgage broker, so that all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed when it comes time for me to put in an offer. I'd recommend reaching out to Steve and his team at Wards Maidstone, if you are looking to buy.

My partner and I have just began the process of buying our first property and I honestly cannot fault all the members of staff who have handled our situation. A special mention to Steven sharpe who has been so attentive and productive, sending us houses that match our budget and preferences. We also had a viewing on the property we bought with Tom, who was friendly and completely honest in what the surrounding area was like. He was massively helpful in terms of other viewing we had and compared roads and houses for us to weigh up ur best options. Wards have genuinely been incredible as we were told horror stories of estate agents selling you houses for their benefit and not being open and honest about the houses but we can honestly say that Wards have been completely transparent and supportive through our whole journey. Thank you to the whole team - you found us our dream home and made every step of the way an enjoyable experience

Used Wards to sell our leasehold flat. Have received excellent service from all the staff who dealt with sale. In particular Tina Styance Senior Sales Progressor who has been extremely informative and helpful during the exchange process. Her customer service skills are exemplary. Tom Bingham Branch Partner who dealt with us when we chose Wards again very helpful and informative. Would recommend Wards to friends and family to sell/buy property

When I first called Wards I engaged with a letting agent named Abigail. I was into somewhat unique position as I was moving to the Maidstone area from the United States and was having a hard time finding any letting agents who were willing to work with me. Abi gave me lots of good information and stated that she was willing to work with me however I did need to appear in person to do my right to rent which no other letting agent had informed me would need to be done. Within 36 hours I boarded a plane from Florida to Maidstone. By the time I arrived Abi had several properties lined up for me to look at both inside and in neighboring villages around Maidstone. She took it upon herself to put me in the back of her car and drive me around a good portion of the day to all the properties to try and find one that would best fit my family. Through the entire process she answered all of my questions extremely thoroughly and was patient considering I was new to renting a house in the United Kingdom. By the end of the day she helped me find a beautiful three bedroom in the village of Headcorn. After she verified my right to rent she stayed in regular contact with me ensuring that the entire letting process went smoothly and everything was prepared for my family to arrive at the end of October. Without her help I would not have been able to do this. I will be eternally grateful to Abigail for all the help she provided and I highly recommend anyone work with her to find a home for yourself and your family. Thank you Abi!

We’ll be sure to pass on your thanks, she’ll be over the moon to hear your kind words. Wishing you and your family all the best as you settle into your new home! Wards of Maidstone

I highly recommend Liam Budden from Wards of Maidstone when buying a property. Liam has made the whole process run so smoothly from the very start. Whenever I have needed any assistance with my purchase Liam has always been very happy to help, and he always goes the extra mile to assist which has taken so much of the stress out of this. Liam has dealt with my purchase in a very professional manner, and I would definitely recommend him.

I've recently bought through Wards, there was pressure to use their Mortgage broker and their solicitors, a lot of pressure and most of the agents I spoke to we're quite insistent. However, when I spoke to Steven it was totally different, he asked who I was using and understood my reasons, if it wasn't for him I'd have given up and found somewhere else. He helped me through all the ups and downs and was there to hand me the keys on the final day! If you can make it through all the hassle, it's worth it!

We recently purchased our new home through wards. We really can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. They kept us updated they chased for updates and information about the chain and pushed to get it across the line. They really do try their best to get the best outcome across the whole chain and made us feel more comfortable when we felt things were going quiet. Big shout out to Chloe Yas Lewis and Debbie. What a team they are and what lovely people they are too. Always happy and communicative no matter how many time you call and chase and ask for updates really l made the process smoother and easier for what is a very stressful time.

Wards of New Ash Green

My wife and family have lived in Kent for over 40 years, and every house that we bought or sold, of which there have been many, has been through Wards of Kent. They have always been an efficient and business-like agency. We trust them. Recently, we had to sell a second house in the village of New Ash Green that we were renting-out for over a decade. This was because of the changes in the tenancy laws.

Urgent release of tenancy deposit required

I have tenants who are experiencing financial hardship and who are moving out of one property I own into another. This required releasing the deposit on the first property to make it available for the second. It transpired that the release request had been sent to the wrong email address and this was the reason for them not having received it. With only 3 days until they moved into the new property and need the deposit, we called to see if we could chase it up. I spoke to Sangeetha who quickly grasped the problem and contacted both her accounts team, the tenant and myself and managed to quickly resolve the issue and get the deposit to the tenants on time. We are all very grateful to her and thank her for her speed and professionalism.
