We had the absolute pleasure of working with Debbie Ludgate at Wards during the sale of our house, and we honestly can’t thank her enough. The sale wasn’t straightforward, but Debbie went above and beyond throughout the process. She was incredibly proactive, always coming up with solutions when challenges arose, and her calm, reassuring nature made such a difference.
Debbie was an absolute joy to speak to – always friendly, professional, and supportive. We felt completely comfortable contacting her whenever we needed help, and she never made us feel like a bother. Her dedication and kindness truly stood out.
We’d also like to say a big thank you to Steve, who stepped in seamlessly when Debbie was away. He was just as helpful and supportive, and it really felt like we were in safe hands the entire time.
Between Debbie and Steve, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through the process. Thank you both... Read more

I’ve very recently had the pleasure of Maisie at the New Romney branch assisting me with and hosting viewings on several properties. Not only is she knowledgeable of the properties she is hosting and able to answer many questions on the spot, she is professional, proactive, friendly, and a real credit to the branch. Nothing is too much trouble for Maisie, and my experience so far with the New Romney branch of Wards in my buying process is a positive one.... Read more

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle from Wards, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, Michelle was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. She made the entire process of buying my first home smooth and stress-free, offering insightful advice, answering all my questions promptly and liaising with the vendor.
What stood out the most was Michelle's attention to detail and dedication to ensuring all my needs were met. She was always on hand to provide updates and went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported throughout. Thanks to Michelle, I was able to find the perfect home quickly and at the right price.
I highly recommend Michelle and Wards for anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her professionalism and commitment to client satisfaction are second to none.... Read more

I’ve bought and sold four properties with Wards over the years. But my most recent experience with Michelle and the New Romney branch has been the best by far. Michelle took me to see several properties over several days and was enthusiastic and helpful throughout. She helped me make the right offer to secure the property when we found the right one. And since then she’s popped up every time something needed an extra push. I can’t fault Michelle. She’s been excellent. Her colleagues have also been great including Steve, the branch manager and his fishing tips!... Read more

We had a great experience with the Wards New Romney team, especially Michelle. The property needed some work & needed the right person to take it on. The property was empty so Michelle did the majority of the viewings with the potential buyers. She contacted us to confirm the viewings were arranged & updated us after the viewings with the potential buyers comments. This was really helpful. I know that Michelle took calls from the person who purchased the property on her days off & updated us on these days as well. That really is great customer service & shows her passion for the job. The whole process from instruction to sale was approx 3 months. Absolutely brilliant and we would definitely recommend Michelle & all of the Wards New Romney team.... Read more

We recently purchased a property through Wards in New Romney, and our experience was amazing. Throughout the process, the whole team provided excellent service from start to finish.
As first-time buyers, we were unsure about the process and the type of property we wanted. Michelle Carroll was incredible; she gave us excellent advice and assistance, helping us find the best property for our needs with her professionalism and expertise. She made the process of viewing different properties very enjoyable, even staying late to ensure we could view a property at our convenience. Michelle was down-to-earth and great fun to view properties with. We cannot compliment her enough, thank you so much!
Once we made an offer, we were promptly introduced to our sales progressor Debbie Ludgate, who was always on hand to answer any questions we had and to ensure the sale progressed quickly without any hold-ups. As first-time buyers, having someone available to provide advice and who understands the complexities when needed was invaluable!
I would highly recommend Wards in New Romney, and they will undoubtedly be our first stop when we next buy or sell a property. A massive thank you to Michelle, Debbie, Steve and Kurtis and the whole team at Wards for providing such a wonderful experience!... Read more

Effective, efficient, professional and fun!
For the last two months we have been dealing/communicating with estate agents - the majority have been quite irritating to be honest! Then I made a call to the New Romney WARDS ESTATE AGENTS office and spoke with a Michelle Carroll. From the get go she was fabulous. Informative, patient, listened to every word I said and gave me confidence that we were going to receive an effective and efficient service. She immediately tapped into the type of property we were looking for and arranged viewings on eight properties. Some of which she had chosen for us from her own recommendations. All our communications were excellent whether it was via emails or phone calls. On the viewing day we met Michelle at the first property - she greeted us with a big smile, a firm handshake, a friendly warm demeanour and wearing a really smart suit. All the viewings were timed brilliantly so we flowed from one property to another without any rushing. I felt that Michelle was honest, professional but she also gave her genuine personal opinion when I asked her for it. The process of viewing properties and deciding where you want to live is such an emotional journey but Michelle made it fun and we had such a laugh along the way. We hope to find our forever home soon. Thank you Michelle, keep doing what you’re doing, you are a great Ambassador for WARDS.... Read more

Steve and team are the best estate agents in New Romney and the surrounding area. Selling anything in a difficult market requires special skills...knowing your locality; matching precisely the potential buyer and property and then well beyond the norm to complete the purchase. Steve, Curtis and Jamie must have been fed to the back teeth with my pestering but if they were they never lost their good humour and enthusiasm. I have bought and sold quite a few properties but in my honest assessment Wards in New Romney are best of breed. Thank you, Steve and team...I am very grateful for your superb help.... Read more

Exceptional Service.
Wards New Romney & the team were fully supportive & helpful in assisting us with our recent purchase. In particular our agent Jake Hardyke was exceptional. He was friendly, helpful & fully onboard with completing our purchase. He assisted us most days with additional viewings, answering questions contacting our buyer & solicitor when needed. Encouraging us, to give us confidence all would be completed soon. We could not have asked for more. His relations with the other office staff & purchase progressor made everything easier. He also recommended we use their linked solicitors (Martin Tolhurst), this hugely improved the communication; we could not recommend this service enough.
Jake could not have done more for us, he was patient, kind, understanding & helpful; he gave us so much time & assistance to get our purchase & sale completed we could not have asked for more. If you want a helpful & supportive experience, with clear communication & excellent customer service, choose Wards New Romney!!... Read more
