Touchstone is service with a smile!!

From the referencing to move in date, maintenance and just all over tenant care Touchstone has been absolutely Amazing, Coco & Shirley who has always just been an email or phone call away, assisting with our every need and ALWAYS having our best interest at heart no matter what the request or problem was. Being an a newly built that came with its own teething issues, the team at touchstone have been absolutely superb with sorting everything out in very timely manner. If we could we would happily have them as our managing agent all over again.

I have been on about heating and issues with the flat since August. Contractors have come and gone with ill informed or suboptimal repairs which have rendered parts of the flat unlivable.It is electric powered but yet I had recurrence of an electrical or wiring fault that has left the extractor fan running for 2 days The team could do with audit

Appalling

In Ashford, where Touchstone is responsible for managing residential properties, the standard of service is unacceptable. Serious issues are simply ignored, and the condition of the building has at times been so poor that it has directly affected people’s lives.

Incompetent would be too kind

If I could sum up our experience with Touchstone in one word, incompetent would probably still be too kind. We viewed a flat a couple of weeks before Christmas with a different estate agent and our details were then passed to our Touchstone contact, Emma. We asked 2 weeks before Christmas what our potential move in date would be as we needed to give 1 month's notice and received no answer. In January, we were then contacted and asked if we could move in in 1 weeks times. We said no. We were then given a date for 2 weeks time so we asked if there was any wiggle room on this. We were advised that it would be reviewed by the 'Operations Manager' who was never named and we couldn't email them or talk to them on the phone or contact them in anywayWe pushed back and after chasing for an answer, we were then advised we could have the date we asked for but by this point, this was in 1 week's time which was ridiculous. We were then given an ultimatum on Friday evening of having to reply by 9am Monday about a final move in date we could accept. We replied by the deadline but didn't receive a reply to this email. What we did find however, was the property we were trying to rent re-advertised online which quite frankly, I find to be a disgusting way to treat people.If I was you, I wouldn't dream of entering into any sort of legal contract with this company as our experience has been staggering incompetence and a company that can't and won't pick up the phone to actually talk to you.

Absolute diabolical company

Absolute diabolical company. Awful communication from staff, over a week to reply to an email. Calls never answered, voicemails left and never called back. Was told our full deposit would be returned to us on email dated 8th May and there is of course no sign of it despite chasing it up! Now reported them to Tenancy Deposit Scheme for non payment as it should be paid in 10 days. Avoid at all costs.

Sarah · 20 May 2024

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Please respond to the Trustpilot link with your name and the address for your tenancy. Once we have this information, we can investigate and get back to you. Kind regardsTouchstone

Our boiler broke down in freezing conditions. After a whole day of back and forth with Touchstone adamant it was a freezing pipe and advising us to use a hairdryer on the pipe, they told us to wait until out of hours and raise an emergency call out. This was 24 hours after the problem was reported. We waited, called the emergency line and were told we weren't eligible due to not being over 65 or having young children. Unable to face another night in freezing conditions with no heating or hot water we contacted a plumber ourselves. The issue wasn't freezing pipes as touchstone suggested. It was a blocked Condense pipe, something we would not of been able to fix ourselves. We've sent the invoice of this call out across to Touchstone, and they have been ignoring us since.

Kay · 16 January 2024

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hello Kay We are sorry to hear that your boiler broke down; we understand that this can be unpleasant, especially in cold weather. Our standard practice is to trouble shoot any issues that come up as not all break downs require a contractor to attend. Once the trouble shooting has been completed, and if the problem isn’t resolved, we send out a contractor. The team has contacted you regarding the invoice.Kind regardsTouchstone

Scam like company/ignore calls/keep deposits.

This company when moving out make you feel as though they are a fake company with no employees and have scammed you whilst keeping your deposit money. First issues arise at the point of moving out, where every day calls were ignored, transferred and hung up, and no emails responded to. It took a MONTH after a formal complaint randomly being responded to, for us to actually get hold of someone for our notice to even be successfully handed in! No apology and no honouring of our original contact date. We then moved out on the 8th of December, we had a visit that morning at 9am whilst moving out, were advised they would not take the keys after inspection as we were entitled to the full day to move out, we then returned the keys to the estate agents the next working day as they asked, we then got told we were misinformed and were due to pay for the extra 3 days? We refused as it is their mess. We are now a month down the line, another formal complaint ignored, no answers to emails or calls or voicemails, no deposit back, and 3 times we have got through to someone on the main hunt line we are advised they don’t have a manager to escalate it to. Absolutely disgusting company.

I live in one of Touchstone's rental properties in Brighton and have been very happy so far with the quality of the apartment, with the responsiveness of Touchstone to any maintenance issues I might have and generally the whole moving in process. I find Touchstone helpful and communicative and have had no problems whatsoever so far, very happy to continue living here!

I have only had the best care and advise from Alex paradise. He has helped me with a lot todo with my flat and got things sorted when they needed done. He is the only person in years that I have truly got things sorted with. And nothing was ever to much for him to deal with either. And I just think he is worth his waiting gold . Just a saying but means so much. And just a pleasant person to get on the phone to talk to.

A terrible company

Update: after posting this review someone from Touchstone promptly reached out to assist in resolving this issue. Although this is appreciated there was no communications from the manager of the department, despite emailing and leaving voicemails. It's a shame the management don't respond to customer complaints. I also emailed the complaint email, and also didn't get a response. Customer services can be improved by communicating and simply being honest. If someone had of said we're sorry but we are doing something, I wouldn't post such a shaming review. Needless to say, although I'm happy the issue looks like it will be resolved, but it would have been more professional to respond to my email/phone interactions. A terrible company. We moved out and communication has been consistently poor. They don't answer phones or emails. We moved out and the inventory wasn't organised I had to chase. The check out wasn't organised I had to chase their third party contractor vibrant. I'm waiting for my deposit to be returned and am also chasing. I emailed on the 17th and was advised someone would contact me. It's the 28th and they haven't..the check out report was done on the 13th and we haven't had a copy..I'm chasing them, it's disgraceful..

Being able to have someone listen to me

Being able to have someone listen even though nothing has been done about the issue. It was nice an official was sent in person to interact and listen. Tenants are being harassed by the parking firm with fines for ridiculous reasons. Even when they have followed instructions to the letter. No distinction made between tenants and general public. It's a profit making scheme at the expense of tenants. All the while it's ostensibly for the benefit of tenants. I feel so helpless.
