My wife and I have been living in Tonbridge for over a year now. Since our current home is a one-bedroom flat and we recently welcomed a baby, we decided it was time to move to a two-bedroom house. My wife is a doctor at Pembury Hospital, and I am a law graduate working part-time. Naturally, we reached out to Wards in Tonbridge regarding a property available for rent. However, from the very beginning, the agent we spoke with, whose name I unfortunately did not catch, was shockingly blunt in his responses. While I understand that Mondays can be tough for some people, I couldn't help but feel that his attitude was more than just a case of the "Monday blues." It seemed as though our Indian accent or perhaps his preconceived notions about us influenced his behavior. His questions were unusually probing, but we chose to give him the benefit of the doubt, assuming it might be the company's policy to thoroughly vet potential renters. Despite our attempts to continue the conversation, the agent was extremely impatient. To our surprise and dismay, he abruptly ended the call and never picked up when we tried to reach out again. This experience has left us feeling that we were subjected to racial profiling, which is deeply disappointing. Overall, this was an incredibly bad experience. We are very disappointed with the way Wards, Tonbridge, treats its customers and would not recommend them to anyone looking for a respectful and professional service.

Thank you for your review. Please be assured that Wards does not accept discrimination of any kind, as is demonstrated by the widely varied backgrounds of our staff. It is necessary for our branch staff to ask questions and probe further as necessary, as part of the essential qualification process to identify suitable properties and appropriate tenants. We are sorry if this made you feel uncomfortable as this was certainly not our intention. Regrettably, your conversation was unintentionally cut short and the staff member did not have the opportunity to call you back at the time. We are pleased to see that they have since contacted you to complete the registration process and arrange viewings and are delighted to assist you with finding a suitable property. Kind regards Wards

I first noticed Wards because of their signage with various cute dogs, what a pleasure to see them compared to the boring ones of other agents. They make me smile every time I see one of the dogs! I viewed a house in Tonbridge with Amy Ley. She was friendly and welcoming and showed me the house quickly. She also was kind when I mentioned I have 3 cats and said the landlords may consider so do put an application in. Again, refreshing compared to many other agents who have been rude and abrupt when I have mentioned my little furfamily. I was accepted to rent the house and then Amy went above and beyond getting my checks and documents arranged so that I could move in on the Thursday before the Easter weekend which was amazing. Amy is a high spirited go-getter and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you Amy!

I'm very satisfied with the service I received from wards. I probably was a difficult client due to my lack of knowledge of things, but they handled me professionally and helped me every way possible and I'm very thankful for that. Especially thanks to Amy and Shanur, who did so much for me to get everything done. Thank you so much, I really appreciate!

A huge thanks to Kai, Tom and the gem they have Ingrid! They have been magnificent in getting the sale of our house through to Exchange. Not only have they done their job so well, but they have shown such personal care throughout the whole process. Really couldn't ask for any more. Well done and thank you for everything.

We were tenants at a property of 3 years and always did our best to look after the property. Always paid on time etc. When we left its been a nightmare trying to get our deposit back. The agents communication is very bad, they take ages to respond to emails. Took them 1 month to get a few basic quotes and the quotes came back at a very high prices e.g. house cleaning £700 but I got a quote in one day for £230, £100 oven cleaning but I got a quote for £60 etc etc. Also blaming us for mold issues even though the property had damp and mold issues. We opened windows put extractor fan on, but the landlord did not want to do anything about it, instead he gave us notice to leave and is trying to use our deposit to fix the issues. Very unhappy with the whole process. I have no issues with deductions from the deposit for things as long as its fair and reasonable, but the agents don't seem to care about the tenants and just want to please the landlord. Had to raise a case with TDS!

Moshir · 22 June 2023

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Dear Moshir Thank you for taking the time to leave us your comments and we are sorry that you have been unhappy with the way that your deposit negotiations have been handled. Regrettably the matter had to be referred to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), who are a Government approved 3rd party dispute resolution service, to adjudicate. It is ultimately the Landlord who requests any deductions that they would like made to the deposit and it is then for the agent to try and negotiate an acceptable figure between the Landlord and Tenant. Should this not be possible, then the matter is referred to the TDS to independently adjudicate, as they securely hold the deposit. We are sorry if the level of communication received during this time has been below your expectations as we do recognise the importance of regular and effective communication especially at a time like this, Should you wish to discuss your concerns in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01702 540802 or customer.support@arunestates.co.uk. Kind regards Arun Estates, Customer Support

Wards in Tonbridge gave a fantastic service selling my house after I had been with another agency for some months. They produced loads of viewers and Anna in particular supported me through a really stressful time. She, and her colleagues, responded promptly and kept pushing the negotiations forward once we had agreed an offer. I would not hesitate to recommend them if you are thinking of selling- they were so knowledgeable, supportive and practical in resolving issues and keeping us all on track.
