GoogleProblems 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.

TrustpilotEmpty 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.

TrustpilotOnly 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!

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.

GoogleWe 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.
