TrustpilotJames.
Although I didn’t buy a house through Wards, I thought I would write and complement James on his excellent customer service. A few months ago I missed out on a purchase in broad Oak, someone pipped me to the post, but James said he would keep in contact if anything went wrong.Yesterday he called me to say the sales had fallen through and would I like a viewing.Unfortunately I had just paid a deposit for exchange on another property, just 10 minutes before James called.He was complimentary about my decision and very courteous. What a polite and well mannered young man. He is an asset to Wards and I would recommend him to any prospective customers.
Thank you for your kind review and I am delighted James did all he could to help you.Shame we couldnt help fully in the end but I wish you well on your purchase.I'll make sure James is aware of your positive feedback.Kind regardsDavid HayesDevelopment Director

TrustpilotWalderslade branch: A purchase from hell.
I’ll try my best to make this as brief as possible, however the journey we have been through feels like a never ending nightmare. Me and my fiancé was accepted on our first home back in November 2024. We couldn’t be more proud of ourselves for managing to buy a house in this current climate, and still be in our early-mid 20s.

TrustpilotGreat service by our sales progressor.
I was impressed by the way that our sales progressor - Debbie Brewer, was liaising with both sides on a regular basis right up to completion. Selling was quite stressful but Debbie really made an effort on our behalf, she was the one thing we could rely on throughout the whole process. Thank You Debbie.

TrustpilotDO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
Arun Estates Ltd - Wards - Etc.DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - I'd like to leave minus stars!Pressured to use their contractor pre-let, Cost £3500 for work including paint white walls... white, apparently essential. (I now realise this was a particular shade of white, making it costly to use any other contractor for touch ups). Turned out to be poor work, damage, negligence, did not cover an outlet pipe when removing dishwasher (or inform us) causing water damage and wasted Gas when they left the heating on full for a month cost a further £1250.Agent said nothing to do with them, then day before let told us a further £2100 required, all things we had asked about before. We decided to cancel at that point, so they ignored us and let them move in anyway writing an official letter saying we'd agreed to this extra work when we hadn't. That's £6850 before the tenants moved in and we haven't started on the fees yet...What the £200 a month on Management gave us from then on was a very poor email forwarding service asking for more money for damage caused by the tenants.Despite us providing scientific evidence and having lived there for 10 years, we were told to have part of our house may need to be demolished to uncover the cause because the tenants would not be honest about it. That would have cost £20,000 upwards.Plus deliberately Blind Copying in a fake email address so they could use their own contractors despite us saying none of their staff or associates were allowed unsupervised in our property.We were told Electrical Certificate not required, then when they realised we were no longer going to let, we were told we had to have the cert at the last minute when it was impossible to organise. We had to investigate ourselves to discover that is was not required for our current let which was ending.And on, and on, either completely incompetent or incredibly deceitful and malicious, possibly a mix of both.From 14 months we have ended up with less than a third of our mortgage covered and we haven't stopped spending on clearing up yet.Tenants have now departed and even more obvious damage has been found and the Agents are still trying to cover up for them.They have damaged a Bannister we were forced to install after only 3 months, we found our bedroom door in the garden behind the shed with chunks missing and a very poor replacement job, signs of breaking into front door, large items left behind, light fitting changed without permission, tree felled without permission, reluctantly paid for pond to be filled in which they prevented then totally messed with and ruined, and on and on.We believe they are covering for the tenants in order to let them again and not disclose to the new landlord the damage caused!They have not presented their file to the Ombudsman after nearly a month, stop replying to further complaints, and still blind copying the false email address... unbelievable.This isn't even everything we've had to deal with.Rotten to the core.We will never let again so that's one less property available to rent. We realise it is only a few tenants who are like this, but it's our first experience, and it's been very costly and soul destroying.Bumping this up to say that there has been dishonestly at every level, every response to our complaints has been absolutely laughable. Totally untrustworthy Company at every level and laws need to be changed to prevent customers being treated in this manner!
Dear AndyThank you for leaving your review.We are disappointed to learn of the difficulties that you have encountered during the tenancy of this property. We note from our records that your tenancy ceased on 1st April 2021 and that your concerns are currently being looked into.We do hope the outstanding issues are soon resolved satisfactorily and thank you again for providing us with your feedback.Kind RegardsWards

TrustpilotDesperately looking for a new house
I have been looking for a house for a while with not much luck in the current market. Natalie and Gary at Wards at Gillingham have been fantastic in arranging a prompt viewing on a place I straight way liked and put a offer on. They have been very polite and helpful in the whole process and kept me informed about the progress. I am really happy that my offer was accepted and I’m waiting to move in. They have been brilliant all the way and keeping me regularly updated. Thank you

GoogleWe are having a brilliant experience purchasing a property through Gary at Wards Faversham. We receive prompt responses to our queries and communication is always clear and efficient. We are updated regularly on the post sales process via email from Maria and have been incredibly impressed with the efficiency and care of the team. It has been and continues to be a friendly experience in what could otherwise be a very stressful process. Thanks to both involved for always going the extra mile and we will definitely use Wards Faversham again in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

TrustpilotLee and Emily from Wards Ashford
Lee and Emily from Wards Ashford Lettings have been brilliant form start to finish. They are very professional to deal with and I would highly recommend if you want to let your property. They have helped my partner and I with our first letting from the beginning, made sure we had all the correct paperwork in place right through to the end with key handover. They are both very polite, friendly, and always happy to help. They are quick to respond on emails & calls and nothing is too much if you need any help or questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends, family and other landlords.

TrustpilotSuch an awful experience from such an…
Such an awful experience from such an upstanding and reputable company - the estate agent, Tania, that just showed me a flat in Greenhithe was one of the rudest individuals I’ve ever met in my life. I’m not even sure she’s an estate agent? Absolutely rude and unprofessional. You should not have people of this poor character representing your business.
