GoogleGreat service from start to finish with good communication. Ashley and Ethan ensured potential viewers were arranged with Henry showing them around in a professional manner. Rachael kept everything moving following up on any problems and answering my stressed concerns quickly, sorting out and chasing answers to problems. It was a long journey but supported by staff every step of the way. Highly recommend.

GoogleHenry Tucker…*****
We had a great experience with Wards recently. Our agent Henry Tucker really pulled out all the stops for us..he introduced us to two properties during our search that we would never have considered beforehand. He was spot on and listened and really knew what we were looking for..he used his professionalism and expertise to create positive viewings for us. Henry is approachable, friendly and easy going and we didn’t ever feel rushed when looking at properties. Henry answered our many questions and if he didn’t have an immediate answer he would speak to colleagues or vendors and find out. Henry also recommended a solicitor to us which was so helpful. If you are hoping for a friendly and helpful contact on your property journey I’d highly recommend that you check out Henry Tucker at Wards for a positive experience. Susan Horne 😊

GoogleWe had a great experience with Wards from start to finish. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and easy to talk to. We arranged a viewing and were able to see the property the very next day.
Communication throughout was quick, clear and straightforward, and whenever we had any questions they were always happy to help and got back to us promptly. We submitted a couple of offers during the process and were kept updated each time without being left waiting.
We’re now very happy to have had our offer accepted and would definitely recommend Wards based on our experience.

I had a fantastic experience working with Henry at Wards. From the very beginning, he was professional, proactive, and genuinely committed to helping me find the right property.
What really stood out was his ability to secure me a property before it even came onto the market, which made all the difference in such a competitive environment. His communication was excellent throughout, always keeping me informed and making the whole process feel smooth and stress-free.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Henry to anyone looking to buy a property, his dedication and local knowledge truly set him apart.
Thank you again for all your help!

GoogleAbsolutely shocking! They were very keen to get me through the door but appalling at actually having any information as to what they are selling and that's even when they back to you! I was also hung up on when informing them they have wrong details for me... very strange behaviour, you'd think for their reputation of overvaluing they'd at least be keen to communicate with you!
As someone who quite literally does this as a job aswell i was appalled. The way they treated me differently to my father felt underlyingly sexist.

GoogleWe viewed two auction properties with wards, as well as a normal property. We were interested in one of them specifically, but was not lucky in the process. I can not thank wards enough for the help and information given throughout the whole process. We have continued to use the services they put us in touch with; as they have been equally positive. I want to give a special acknowledgement to Henry, who showed us around the properties of interest. He was polite, welcoming, informative and helpful. We wish you all the best, and hope to deal with wards again in the future. I would highly recommend this company.

Google‘Nice’ people who exploit vulnerable clients.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
My mum choose Wards to market her bungalow because they “looked smart and were nice people”.
She needed a quick sale on her bungalow and knew that the market was slowing down, so wanted to market the property at £500,000.
She was persuaded to market at £525,000 on a FIXED PRICE CONTRACT, so Wards get paid £5,250 REGARDLESS OF THE SELLING PRICE. Wards had just increased their commission by £250.
They refused to help her complete the industry standard paperwork unless she used their recommended, internet based conveyancer, rather the cheaper local one in her village. My 82 mum now had to do everything electronically. Wards receive a referral fee of £492 from the conveyancing legal firm.
16 weeks into the 20 week contract (when mum was thinking about switching estate agents) Wards advised her to drop the price to £400,000 for ‘a quick sale’ that mum had originally asked for..... Wards will still get all £5,250 commission, so they haven’t lost out (unless she switched to another estate agent).
In our opinion, the sale took longer than it should have if it been marketed at the correct market price originally. As well as getting a lot less money than she was lead to believe, the delays have affected both her mental and physical health.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU CHOOSE WARDS ESTATE AGENTS.

Thank you for providing us with your feedback, we are sorry to learn that you were unhappy with the service we provided to your mum when selling her bungalow.
Initially we reached a consensus over the asking price based on an average expected sale price however, we subsequently agreed with your mum to reduce the price to help with achieving a faster sale.
Our fees were clearly stated in the agreement and are not payable unless/until we achieve a satisfactory outcome. Our branch staff assisted your mum, both in branch and on some occasions visiting her at home to help complete documents and to explain the process.
The solicitors we recommend are a well known and highly rated local firm with physical offices around Kent; they are not internet based. We recommend them because of the high standard of service they provide to our customers and find that the enhanced communication we have with them can help to speed up the process.
We appreciate that selling a home can be a stressful time and are pleased to note that your mum’s sale completed successfully. We hope that your mum is now happy and settled in her new home.
Kind regards
Wards
