TrustpilotExploitative company, poor deposit process
Seems to be a recurring theme with other reviews left on here, but this company do not follow a proper process for returning deposits. They try to extract as much of your deposit as possible and are not transparent in what 'damages' your deposit is being used for. They're very exploitative and not helpful when you ask for their reasoning (even though it's their responsibility to be clear on what your money is being used for). Recommend avoiding this company.

TrustpilotThe worst company ever they will fix…
The worst company ever they will fix what they want to fix and ignore anything that doesn't suit them. They increase your rent every 12 months even if you're sitting in mould- ombudsman and environmental health have already been involved and they are now involved again. Don't think you'll ever get a proper response from an email either... all the staff their need training please avoid if you are a landlord or a tenant.

TrustpilotBe warned!
Something has changed at Touchstone...and not for the better. We were tenants in one of their properties for 18 years. For the majority of that time, they were generally competent, although the seemingly high turnover of staff often meant that we couldn’t deal with the same person more than a couple of times. I must point out that the finance/payments dept were always very helpful.However, when it came to repairs and contractors, things were always substandard. Missed appointments...work done badly...lies...you name it!We started to suspect that they were up to something when we were informed that they were, out of the blue, installing a new gas boiler. When the contractors fitted this, they had been instructed to remove the gas fire from the living room, leaving us with no heating in our main room. We had to pressure Touchstone in to installing an electric fire. This fire was the absolute cheapest B&Q unit, with known faults in the reviews. Naturally, it didn’t work. We reported it endlessly to touchstone and were met with excuses, delays, and empty promises...resulting in us spending all of the coldest winter with no source of warmth in the living room. Christmas dinner involved wearing coats, hats, and gloves! I should point out that my wife is disabled and cold weather exasperates her pain. Further, the lack of heating prompted the damp and mild that we’d always struggled to keep at bay. After all of our complaints, we were told that Touchstone would be selling the property (which explained the new boiler!!) and that we would be served a Section 28 “at some point on the near future”. We vacated in March, (the fire still hadn’t been fixed by then), and to date have still had no communication regarding this situation despite being asked directly for an explanation, apology, or recompense.Be warned!

GoogleAfter cleaning and leaving our appartment, when the lady from the office collected the keys she looked through the appartment and said everything was fine. However, soon we recieved an email stating that our 1050 pound deposit will be taken because the appartment was dirty and there were a bunch of extra charges (50 pound for a single light bulb, 150 pound for the "removal" of a few empty plastic bags and small items that were there upon us entering the appartment and much more).
Fully recommend avoiding Touchstone properties unless you want to lose all of your deposit regardless of your actions and wait months for the simplest of repairs that are needed in the property.

I could not give even one star! All reviews absolutely correct! No response whatsoever, I never ever met in my life so unprofessional people! Only one department works absolutely spot on if you have payment issue they would ring you or email even after working hours. Contractors absolutely joke, I felt insulted of unprofessionalism after three attempts to fix a problem,which one been still not resolved… main sentence off all staff I will chaise the problem and call you back in the next half hour… yes weeks after no one even responded to issue. I think you should be ashamed to call your self management company, because you can not manage sh**t.

TrustpilotExcellent Service
My personal experience with Touchstone as a tenant since more than 10 months is 'excellent'. I would like to thank & appreciate Coco Blunos for her extremely good customer service since last 10 months for us as a Customer Adviser/Property Manager. I found her very professional and helpful always when we reach her for a query or advise or issue. To share an instance, when I was reached Coco in absence of her colleagues during Easter regarding an issue due to sudden water leakage in my property from upstairs, she was very well managed & immediately within few minutes she was arranged maintenance personnel. The issue was fixed in couple/few hours. Her quick understanding & help is much appreciated.I wish Coco all the best & keep up the excellent service in future too.

TrustpilotHealth and safety risks
-Disorganised and chaotic-They use stalling techniques for maintenance issues, then close issues on their system without actually resolving them- their properties are not quality inspected and rented out with significant health and safety risks- they don’t know or follow their own tenancy agreementsI have already complained to our property manager several times and nothing has improved.

GoogleUnsafe, Unethical, and Unjust Workplace
My experience at TouchStone & PlacesForPeople was nothing short of appalling, and I would strongly advise anyone to steer clear of this organization. While working there, I was physically assaulted, a shocking and traumatic event that no employee should ever have to endure. Instead of taking appropriate action to address the situation, the company made matters worse by wrongfully dismissing me.
The internal appeal process was nothing more than a facade. It was biased, lacked transparency, and clearly existed to protect the company rather than ensure fairness or justice for employees. I was left feeling unsupported, disregarded, and betrayed by a system that should have been there to uphold basic workplace rights.
This company’s disregard for employee safety and well-being is unacceptable. Their actions demonstrated a complete lack of accountability, ethics, and integrity. A workplace should provide a safe environment and fair treatment, this organization failed on every level.
If you care about your safety, your rights, and being treated with basic human decency, avoid TouchStone & PlacesForPeople at all costs. My experience was deeply distressing, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
