Problems within my building with really noisy neighbours, I’ve raised this to the property managers attention numerous times with no results and a month between the complaint and a response. Can also never get through to them via their phone line to speak to someone over these issues.

Empty promises

While quick to offer a public reply to my previous review here (Be Warned) with a promise to contact me, here we are again. Not a whisper from anyone at Touchstone since I forwarded the requested info, despite them having every possible piece of contact info on their system. Utterly inept.

Only problems

It's verry hard to communicate with any of workers. For fixing the problem seems like a forever wait. Thins like no heating in the house should be a priority especially when thers a child in the house yet it took over 2 weeks to get someone to fix the problem and not much support from anyone as you can't even speak to real person the phone!

No one picks up phone or replies email…

No one picks up phone or replies email once we have signed the tenancy contract.Update: Got the responses I needed to sort out my issue after sending a feedback email. Thanks for that :) but would be great if things can be sorted normally without any complaints in the future (I have been patient for 5 months before complaining)

Awful 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.

Ken · 18 December 2023

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

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

We were letting a property ( Unfurnished) from them close to 3 years near Edinburgh City Centre. When we moved in, The condition of the kitchen and bathroom were not great ( which is mentioned in the check in report as well). At end of tenancy , they are asking us to pay 2300/- pounds (stating redecoration of the flat) , we have not received our deposit back. AVOID.

Awful 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!
