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.

Hello Rukshitha We're sorry to learn about the leak affecting your home. In cases likes this, it can be difficult to liaise with the relevant parties and organise the necessary repairs to a property not within our management, and apologise for any inconvenience this causes you.We will arrange for the team to contact you directly regarding this matter. Kind regardsTouchstone

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!!!

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

If i could give negative stars - i would. This company is run by MORONS that take your money and go have tea parties every other weekend with it. THIEVES - i moved out in march and they are REFUSING to return my deposit. They also OWE me the cost of a heater due to a non-working boiler when i moved in, in Jan 2023.

5 star ***** Quality Customer Service *****

I made a call today to request some advice and assistance and my call was answered incredibly swiftly by Charlotte, a very helpful Property Manager who not only solved my query instantly, she went above and beyond with great advice and a follow up confirmation email covering everything. I wish all companies had staff like this, I do hope Charlotte's bosses are aware of how much of a credit she is to their business.

Update from my review dated 1st March…

Update from my review dated 1st March 2024. 6 and a half months and still waiting for the issues to be resolved. Electrician attended in March and advised smoke alarms not connected to the mains. Lounge light needs replacing. Problems fixed....nooooooo!!! Roof leaking, water running down the walls. Roofer attended in March. Has the issue been fixed.....nooooooo!!! I'm now growing my own mushrooms on my wall. I fully understand Touchstone inherited the property but they have been taking rent since last September and done absolutely nothing. Other than apologies for not fixing the issues and promises to get things sorted, nothing has been done. In the meantime I'm sleeping in a damp bedroom. Fingers crossed there will be no health implications to the mould growing. Maybe legal advice will be my next option.

Hello IanWe apologise that the works have not yet been completed; we're aware you understand that these are inherited issues we are trying to resolve.

5 Star Service

My wife and I recently moved into a new build and were tasked with submitting a snag list to Charlotte at Touchstone, for her to liaise with the Property Developer to action. What can we say, Charlotte delivered on all issues raised, with a faulty smoke alarm being repaired within 2 hours of reporting it. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she even contacts us for updates on the progress of the jobs we have reported, to make sure they have all been addressed. It is extremely rare today to find anyone who delivers on customer service so it is so refreshing to deal with someone who goes the extra mile and delivers on everything you raise. I would thoroughly recommend Touchstone, and Charlotte in particular, to anyone.
