About Wards

group

Wards Commercial is a division of Wards Surveyors, which was formed in 1988 and originally traded as Castle Commercial. Since its inception it has seen a vast increase in its size and the field of expertise offered to clients in the UK and abroad.

Our recent change of name to Wards Surveyors coincided with our decision to further expand our range of services into the residential house sales market, enabling us to offer the one stop property shop, with a full range of property sales and lettings from under one roof.
