TrustpilotAwful awful company to rent with
After 8 years (some of which with Derwent Living) I can say Touchstone will ignore your requests for work, raise your rent at every opportunity and then steal your deposit at the end of the tenancy. Avoid at all costs.

Hello KenWe are very sorry to see that you were unhappy with our service during your time with us, and more recently with the handling of your deposit. To confirm, your review has been shared with the Operations Team. Finalising deposits can be a contentious time whilst all parties discuss the check-out report and any dilapidation costs. We work closely with the TDS, so any disputed issues/amounts should have been raised with the TDS for independent adjudication. If you are waiting on the team to finalise your deposit, please contact us at feedback@touchstoneresi.co.uk using the Ref: Google, Deposit, so that we can conclude the matter for you.Kind regardsTouchstone

TrustpilotAwful company
Awful company. Constantly being passed from pilar to post. No one really communicate within the company and to be honest not many sound like they know what they’re talking about. I would not recommend renting from touchstone unless you want to grow some grey hairs!

Moved in to a new property on 5th April only to discover that the integrated washing machine hasn't been plumbed in and the cooker hood doesn't work.Reported to Touchstone via their portal a week ago followed with a phone call a few days later.

This landlord is the worst. They claim to never receive contact through their customer portal but bizarrely receive payments satisfactorily through it. They are brutal when it comes to their interpretation of the lease agreement. Be warned.

Two weeks after moving out of a property I have heard nothing at all from them about the return of my deposit. No response to emails and when I try to contact them by phone I'm transferred to someone's voicemail, and unsurprisingly have received no response after leaving a message.
