Lovely experience

I would like to mention a staff member Coco is been extremely helpful the whole time before and after we moved in. She gave us fast and clear response in short time no matter how small the issue is about. It making us feel that we are important and less worried. Please keep up the hard work and well done!

It was easy to understand the process, communication accuracy was good, transparency, and what was asked was done and solved. Was a great experience.

Terrible company and rude with zero communication skills!!!

Absolute shambles of a company. communication is poor they are rude and when you pile pressure on them they accuse you of being rude and Will only communicate via email, but they do not respond too emails!Currently taking legal against them for withholding funds. They go by contracts that are 2 years out of date! I have requested all transcripts of phone calls being made so I can pass this onto property ombudsman and guess what had zero response, due to GDPR I am legally entitled to all phone call transcripts! We have requested our own deposit back and within 90 days we will get it as it’s illegal to hold once a request has been submitted! I have requested a senior member of management to phone me as I have logged an official complaint and guess what zero response, I will not let this drop, they where rude to my partner and failed to acknowledge her emails and now I have to get involved, you had the opportunity to deal with the nice one of us and now you have to deal with me! Good luck you are going to need it! Our landlord unfortunately passed away and we was on a verbal monthly contract with our letting agent then these clowns took over but yet they insist by going by a contract that was 2 years out of date that had expired!!!! We could not get anything in writing from our original letting agent as our landlord died so everything was done verbally, touchstone was given the opportunity to be in charge or our deposit and they declined (proof in email) now they want access too it!!!! I don’t think so!!!! Touchstone had zero communication with our original letting agents to inform them whats going on. We gave them one month notice at the very earliest opportunity they failed the acknowledge our notice and I had to chase them, I also gave them certain days I could do handover and in one of the phone calls I was told the date I could do was accepted, later found out they couldn’t do and want to charge me 2 days rent for this!!! Had no choice as had work commitments but too leave keys in the locks as they failed to meet the agreed date!!! Then they accuse me of leaving the property insecure, hello you should have stuck with the original agreed date!!!I am formally requesting again copy’s of transcripts via phone calls, failure to do so means you are breaking the law!!!

Managing by book, not by human way

As a well-organized company, what is your contingency plan for a situation where a tenant is affected by water leakage from an upper floor that is managed by a different service provider? Why should your client have to wait until the issues in the non-managed flat are addressed, enduring the associated problems? Providing a safe home is your responsibility, and waiting six days while managing strictly by the book is viewed as inadequate. A more practical, compassionate approach is expected from a company of your reputation to promptly address your client's concerns.

Thank you Coco!

Coco Blunos was our point of contact at Touchstone (we were renting in Gloucester) and we could not recommend her more highly. She was always prompt and friendly when assisting with any queries and was a real pleasure to deal with. Coco is a real asset to Touchstone and proves that good old fashioned quality customer service does still exist!

If I could give minus stars I would

If I could give minus stars I would. They took over our property and within a week we received a rent increase which is over 5 percent increase. We were given 3 days notice of the increase which is illegal we were then informed that all rent is due from 1st of month, ours is normally paid from 14th and we have incurred charges even though we were told on 16th of month. We were promised when they took over no changes to rent within a week they upped our rent 100 pounds. I am disgusted and I really dislike them as landlords.

I am a tenant at The Farthings, and this is a review and positive feedback regarding Mr Tony Lewis, Estate Technical Manager at The Farthings. I confirm that from my perspective, since he took over Mr Lewis has provided outstanding service and support: 1. excellent support to the tenant, by addressing timely each query I raised, from repairs to information queries; 2. a timely feedback to the issues and question raised, including at the weekend / OOO - which is much appreciated and has made a real difference; and 3. demonstrating competence and a thorough understanding of the local logistical context and matters at hand at The Farthings.In our interactions, Mr Lewis demonstrated high professionalism throughout and not lastly, excellent human and communication qualities, which are important to the tenant especially when there is a change in Landlords.

We were tenants in a flat managed by Touchstone for two years, and were very happy with them! They cut no corners, and any issues we had in the flat (roaches, clogged sinks, etc.) were resolved quickly and thoroughly. There was always the feeling that they would do their best to help, and in spite of a few mixups with deposits/payments at times, everything worked out in the end. Thanks!!

Incompetent and unprofessional

This company is run by incompetent people with zero organisational skills or common sense. Not once have I received a letter from them where all the tenants names are spelt correctly, sometimes a tenant isn’t even addressed. I have made them aware of this issue and they haven’t bothered to fix it. How hard is it to spell names correctly when they’ve had ID sent over to them? It’s just unprofessional. We are a student home, and they have made the repossession of our home like a living hell, for 4 students trying to get through their final year of university they’ve put the weight of our previous landlords mistakes on our shoulders and had essentially 0 sympathy for our situation. Trying to get through to them and speak to someone who actually has answers is next to impossible, they don’t answer emails and bombard you with unnecessary home visits despite all safety certificates being in order and provided to them. I asked them to put a complaint through over the phone months ago and have never heard back in regards to it, if this company even is FCA regulated they're breaking basic standards. This company seem to be in the interest of damage control not damage prevention. Would have AVOIDED if possible!!!

Hello EmmaWe are sorry that a Fixed Charge Receiver was appointed over the property you rent.

I lived at a beautiful property managed by TS for five years and I they were great! Whenever I had a maintenance issue they would send someone within 2-3 days (even during the pandemic) and had the problem sorted there and then most times, or if needed to order parts they would come back, shortly afterwards. All the GB Maintenance guys (the company TS work with) were super nice and knowledgeable too. Same with all the admin queries, they handled them very promptly and efficiently. Alana, Pooja and Tom, who I dealt with most times were great! Thank you all. Tania
