TrustpilotMy 1st Home in UK
Derwent Living city hospital has truly been a big help with me especially when I needed a place to live in as soon as I can due to unforeseen circumstances, Karen was very responsive and understanding. Tony as well has managed and made living in Derwent feel safe. He was very supportive and responsive with concerns; 4 thumbs up. Cleaners were a big help specially on busy days and with 4 of us sharing the flat, they have kept our hallways and kitchen clean. Thank you Derwent for letting me stay there comfortably for nearly 3 years.

TrustpilotFecilty and Scarlett
Fecility has been absolutly amazing. She is warm, welcoming, approachable, friendly all while being professional. Nothing was too much trouble. This is the first time we've rented through an agency (has always rented via the landlord themselves) and she made the process so easy and I didn't feel like I was being judged when I asked basic questions. At some points I felt like I was talking to my best friend rather and a professional. To build a rapport on that level with someone over the telephone without meeting them requires alot of customer service skills. After we moved in I noticed there was alot of pet hair which wasn't cleaned (I am allergic to certain animals). After informing Fecility she very quickly made arrangements with Scarlett to get the carpets cleaned as soon as possible. Scarlett has also been fabulous too! Scarlette was also warm and friendly and she encouaraged me to save her number in case I need her for future repairs/maintence.

TrustpilotLucas - Great PM!
I'm singling Lucas out for this review. Ever since he took over the portfolio management from his predecessor Dean we've had a marked change in service. Lucas is a great PM who went above and beyond to sort out our recent oven change at our flat. He was sensitive to our concerns, patient and brought in fantastic contractors who were also extremely conscientious and thorough. Top job.

TrustpilotStay away... do not use.
I am not one to complain but this experience has been disappointing. This company are constantly chasing their tail and are a few steps behind on every issue. The service is delayed, emails are not responded to and the company is disorganised - bet they are more responsive on here compared to my emails. I have no idea what is causing this issue but it has been going on for a while and when speaking to other tenants they share the same frustration and often share their experience unprompted. Some agreed maintenance issues were not addressed even although there was written confirmation of these being completed, I didn't have keys for the property on the move in date, the parking access has been a complete nightmare and they have been unresponsive on reimbursement.

Hello Melanie
Thank you for your feedback; we are sorry that you have encountered some issues since moving in.
We understand that you had requested full-height tiling in the main bathroom. Unfortunately, we are unable to complete this type of work before a tenancy begins, as there is always a possibility that a tenancy may not proceed. We appreciate that this may have been disappointing; the local agent should have informed you of this process.
We have reviewed the inventory report, which notes that the dishwasher was in a good, domestic-clean condition upon move-in. The property overall was also noted as being clean.
It is standard procedure for our team to carry out basic troubleshooting on all appliances. This helps to eliminate potential user error and allows us to reach a resolution more quickly. If an issue is identified with the appliance, we will of course arrange for an engineer to attend and either repair or replace it as necessary.
Our Maintenance Operations Manager will be in contact with you today to discuss your concerns in more detail and work with you towards a prompt resolution.

TrustpilotZero communication, zero repairs
It has been more than two months that I have been waiting for repairs on my washing machine. After 10+ emails and phone calls I still have had no communication from Touchstone at all, other than "someone will call you back" - they never do. More often than not, the lifts in the building are out of order, this leaves me (a disabled man) having to navigate three stories of stairs with a walking stick and a load of washing to take to the laundrette or a friends house to clean my clothes and bedding.

TrustpilotJames close flat 13 and 59 (Derby)
My husband and I saw property flat 13 James close (derby) on the market. We went through all the processes and made the payment. Now let me know why two days for us to get hold of the key, we get an email that there's a problem in the flat and so we should temporarily stay in flat 59. It's been two weeks of us being in flat 59..no timeline from the team (Annabelle and Lydia). They keep telling us they can't give a timeline. If this is not bait to get flat 59 occupied, then then what is it? Why put a property out there if it is not ready for human settlement? Why take all those monies if you haven't done your checks?Why even wait for us to make full payment before comimg to tell us something different? It's extremely horrible and we demand that the right thing should be done or our monies given to us so we can get something better! You can't go about keeping people waiting. It's high time you all do the right thing! We can't fully settle in flat 59 because we don't know when we will be asked to move to flat 13. All our luggage are left unpacked. We demand answers!

Hello Susana
We apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by the delay to your move.
During a routine inspection shortly before your scheduled move-in date, our Estates Manager identified an outbreak of mould within the property. In light of the potential health risks, particularly for a young child, we made the difficult decision to pause the move until the issue has been fully resolved and the home meets the standards you rightly expect.
Your safety and wellbeing remain our top priority, and we would never wish to place you in a property that is not completely safe and suitable.
We understand that you would prefer to wait for this property, and please be assured it is not our intention for you to remain in your current accommodation long term. We are currently reviewing the situation and will keep you updated on progress, including any expected timelines.
Once again, we apologise for the disruption this has caused and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Avoid this poor excuse of a company as they will just ignore you and refuse to do what you paid for. Sent a email on 28/04/26 due to an increase in cost of gardening yet no work has been conducted for a long time and everything is overgrown and becoming unsafe. My young child had been hurt due to the nettles encroaching well onto the path. They ignored that email so sent another in the 11/05/26 following up and also attached some photos to show how bad it was. Again as of the 18/05/26 they have still failed to reply and ignored me. This isn't the first time so will be sending another email informing them I will be withholding payment until they actually respond and complete the work we are paying for. If they want to take it to court more than willing but let's see if they will act like adults instead of little kids.

I contacted their out of hours team about this and they said that it wasn't an emergency. Even though I sent a video of me climbing through the window to show it wasn't secure and was large enough for 2 people to get through. I then was quoted a week waiting to get this issue repaired.

Last Monday, We have reported a leaking from the socket of the house ( Bees Drive at Lawrence Weston), which we rent from Touchstone, we had only received one response from the staff on that day, then one contractor came to check on Tuesday, stayed a few minutes and left without message for further actions. When the situation of the leaking get worse, we reported to Touchstone again on 8 Nov, but no response, then we tried to contact Touchstone again on 10 Nov, still no response. On 12 Nov, we received one phone call and sms said that a contractor would come to fix the problem in Wednesday, yesterday. We wait at home the whole day but nobody came, no phone call or message. There is no heating and hot water in my house since last Tuesday. We are family of two old people with two dogs. Now seems nobody will help us even we paid the rent via standing order every month, the management company, Touchstone and their staffs have not carryout their jobs but only get money from their tenants. Can someone tell me what I can do now ?PS. One of their staffs just promised helping to solve the issue, hope this time is real, not just entertain me. Update on 15 Nov: another contractor came today, resume the hot water supply, but the main maintenance is now delayed to 21 Nov, no heating during the very cold days next week, at least. Update on 19 Nov, the cold and snow day:Anyway, it's good seeing Touchstone replied, let's see whether the company will keep their words.Update on 21 Nov, firstly I need to thank Trustpilot, this platform has really helped my family to overcome the worst days. Two contractors had come yesterday noon, they carried out the job until 4:30pm, finally the leaking problem is fixed. Just in time to meet the earlier cold days this year. Anyway, I also need to thank those Touchstone's staffs and contractors who had helped us to resume heating and hot water supply in the house.

The virtue called Trust is earned not deserved. My dealings with Touchstone have been the worst I have experienced in Apartment Rent since stepping into the UK. You are walking with Martins &Co who showed your property to me, all my confidential details were forwarded to them after weeks of waiting for an outcome. A congratulatory message was sent to me that I got the said property. Joyously, I reached out for a convenient time to come in and make the necessary payments. Only to be embarrassed and treated like a nobody with Martins & Co referring me to Touchstone to inform me that the property had been given to another person due to a miscommunication between the two companies. without considering the prospective client. This is abysmal and unprofessional. It gives the impression that my background was not good enough for me to have been robbed in the mold in such a disrespectful manner. Why engage other companies if there are no synergies between them?
