I've recently been transferred to this company without any explanation and little notice having been with my current housing provider more than 20 years. On reading these numerous poor reviews which go back a long time, they are going to provide an even worse service than the previous housing provider. They have not even had the courtesy of explaining why this has been deemed necessary, how repairs will be managed, especially outstanding repairs etc and any change to my tenancy status.Unfortunately, as the bad reviews continue to be posted, little hope of improvement either.

Genuinely dreadful

Our rented flat was being managed by Touchstone Edinburgh. The owner sold the flat on to another company, who wanted to use a different property manager.Touchstone failed to notify us, failed to reply to emails, failed to answer the phone. Failed to ask us to stop paying them rent. When asked by the new property manager to contact us, they refused. I wish I could say that they were good previously, but that would be inaccurate. Always hard to get hold of, and exceptionally poor communicators. I would avoid them like the plague.

4 Weeks still no deposit

As I can see, this is a horrible organisation and will never rent a property with their name attached to it. Since day one have had many problems with touchstone to do anything around the property and now that I finally moved out they agreed to give my deposit back in full still have not received it and its been 4 weeks now. I have now open a dispute on TDS as I dont trust this organisation.So I tell every future tenant or landlord stay away from this organisation.

Touchstone is Awful

Touchstone is awful! Every single part of the process is awful. Their response times, the bureaucracy of dealing with a company and not a private landlord, the checkout process etc. Do not use unless you have no other choice. We have been plagued by problems since the beginning. Similar to other reviews our heating had an issue and we had to wait 2 months before our email was even answered even with multiple chases. Fast forward to the end of our tenancy and it has been 2 months since we have moved out. Still have not received our deposit of £1,400. They tried to charge us for fair wear and tear and have eventually reached a “settlement” of £40 for 3 scuff marks (total) of less than 2 inches in length and half an inch in width in 3 rooms which is us saying we just want the money back. I would refer it to TDS but I just want the money. Having agreed the settlement we were told that our deposit would be returned to us within 3-5 working days. It’s been 7 working days since then and having just chased again we’ve been told it’s now been cleared by another department and we will get it in 3-5 working days. Will wait to see if there is another hold up and it will actually be even longer. Morale of the story, dealing with a business as a landlord is awful. Would never do it again, they try to draw as much money from you as possible and will use the size of their business as a tool to frustrate and deny you any attempts at communication.

Constantly have to chase repairs

Constantly have to chase repairs, no one answers the phones, responses on the app or voicemails and emails are few and far between unless they are chasing rent. Taken a year to resolve a complaint.

Disappointed

I moved into a property in Brighton December 2020. We didn't have the heating working for over 3 months in the middle of winter, there was bird excrement over the top of the kitchen cupboards which they didn't check or clean before we moved in (it was a new build as well!). The energy rating for our flat is E which means I was paying £500-600/month for electricity (and that was when the heating wasn't working). We've wasted so much money because of this property.

Terrible

I rented a flat in Aberdeen which was managed by Touchstone, Bath. When the flat had rain water damage, Touchstone were completely unwilling to properly fix the issue.Staff were poor to respond to countless requests for help and the property manager kept changing (clearly not a great place to work either). Sometimes emails requesting action would be ignored.Any work done to address issues always seemed to be the 'cheapest and dirtiest' solution.I don't recommend Touchstone to anyone. They really need to up their game.

Never in my life have i ever dealt with…

Never in my life have i ever dealt with a company like this. Get ready on moving out of your house cause you will be billed for EVERYTHING. We lived in a house for 5 years and amongst other things were billed £25 for a mat that was outside that rotted and fell apart. You have to ask permission for every little thing you do but make sure you get it in writing as a verbal agreement will suddenly not have happened. Our back garden was flooding to the point of going over the patio door so we got verbal approval to extend the patio laying sand under it for drainage (it was just mud before no grass) the garden looked so much better then it did when we moved in and we have been billed £200 for laying it. this has also been used as a selling point when renting the house again Friends of mine had a house opposite ours and changed the blinds but kept the same fixing ( the blinds were better) and the old blinds were in the garage. they have been charged £10 per blind . Takes them weeks to respond to anything unless you are late in your rent. The houses are all owned by a pension scheme or similar so all they care about is getting as much money out of you as possible

Worst company I have ever had to deal with.

This company manages the share of my property I don’t own. Since they have taken over managing my home, they have got every bit of information wrong and I have had to do their jobs for them.They are not interested in repairs or anything for that matter unless you kick and scream, which you shouldn’t have to do. I wound not recommend anybody to deal with them. Stay clear.

I would not recommend.

I would not recommend.I handed back a property of a deceased relative who had been renting the same property for 20 years plus, I was given misleading info by telephone stating rent still needed to be paid, so we left the direct debit in place, turns out the rent shouldn't have been paid and they refused to pay it back.No empathy or apologies, just silly excuses.Any repairs they made to the property were never done properly, poor communication and bad attitudes all round.If you find yourself dealing with them and having to hand a relatives property back, do not pay them anything, I would have been better off not contacting them at all!Trying to do the right thing doesn't always serve you well, especially when dealing with a company like this.They could also do with some training on GDPR and customer service.AVOID in my opinion, I'm sure they'll reply to say sorry about this, that doesn't change the fact that their service is very poor.After following their advice, I actually let them rob money out of a dead relative on the basis they told me the rent still needed to be paid! Lesson learned there.

My partner and i have been looking for a property in the high wycombe area to rent for some time, and were delighted to find this the property available, and to hear we had obtained the contract to rent it. Despite the delay waiting to view the property, we were keen to move in due to time restrictions on our present property.however, our delight vanished when we finally got to view the property ,my partner is currently on the clinically extremely vulnerable HMGov listing and obviously we are aware of the dangers caused by coronavirus and expected a better standard than we were offered. CONSIDERING THE PRE CONTRACT FROM TOUCHSTONE CLEALY STATES,THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE CLEAN PRIOR TO TENANTS MOVING IN AND IT WASN'T IT WAS DISGUSTING. I would never recommend this company, it’s the worst company I have ever dealt with !!!!With have a five page document of the awful service we have received !!The reason why I have not contacted you , is because nothing get done, I’ve got pages of missed calls and unanswered emails!! I just read through some of the reviews or touchstone on here, and are you not embarrassed? to work for such an awful company !! I think you will lose a lot of potential custom if nothing changes !!Latest update….. so I was waiting all day for a caretaker/janitor to turn up on Thursday, after being promised this, to find out that my property is being dealt with a trainee/apprentice . It’s all very well replying penny, with the same stupid response that you have copied and pasted to every complaint on trust pilot, but It would help if you actually fixed the issues we are having and stopped causing my family severe mental health issues.

AVOID TOUCHSTONE!!!!

Where to even begin with touchstone! They are a complete waste of space! They’ve got no interest what so ever in the tenants and problems that may arise, and they are never in any hurry to get back in touch, it can takes weeks before you hear from them, and when they do get back in touch any problems that are reported and just simply brushed under the carpet! And they’ve got no interest into solving anything. We’ve had numerous problems in our new flat over the 3 years, between mould in the bedroom window seals, and loose wall sockets and carpet coming up in our living room, and touchstone are reluctant to doing anything about it, we’ve had 3 property managers in the 3 years and all of them were a complete waste of space! And the new manger is just as useless! A jobs worth!! Strongly would not recommend touchstone to anyone don’t bother wasting your time or money! Please stay away!!!!

Where do I start……

I don’t know where to start with the Touchstone Edinburgh Team. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING has been seamless.They really have pulled out all the stops for my new property, which resulted in them working extra time to accommodate my needs.Constant contact, never a problem getting hold of anyone, personalised video tour of my new house - I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Edinburgh Team to anyone!You all know what you’ve done individually, so from a new home mover, I seriously cannot thank you enough! Bring on tomorrow! Dionne & Kobe 🐾

Absolute cowboys. AVOID

Rented with Touchstone for over 2 years. First of all the property was filthy when I moved in, I had to give the entire place a proper clean. Anytime I reported repairs I had to chase them repeatedly before anything was done about it, once even having to spend over a week with no hot water before anyone even responded.I moved out over a month ago and no one has contacted me regarding the return of my deposit, no one has replied to my e-mails asking about the return of my deposit and if I try to call them direct I get bounced around from department to department and told to ring people who aren’t even working for them. No one in office seems to have any clue what’s going on with company affairs.Definitely would not recommend.

Stay Away!!!!!

Last year we had to find a property temporarily to rent while we waited for our new home to be finished built after we sold our house. We never rented before, always been house owners. We Had to find a rental property quickly after exchange of contract so we had to move out. We only want to rent for 6 months, found a house through your Move Estate Agent, every properties were snapping up so fast last year during covid-19 so we had to grab a vacant house to move in quickly. The house we found was newly built only 5 years old but shockingly was in a poor state ruined by previous tenants with children the garden overgrown, high grass, children drawings on walls, lots of dents on walls , cracks on walls, broken sheds, marks on carpets, rusty fridge, oven was flirty never cleaned, we had the misfortune to be introduced to TouchStone from Your move who said they will get the carpets cleaned before we moved in. We moved in and noticed carpets were only vacuumed and not shampoo clean marks were still on that carpets. So we paid for a professional to clean the whole house and they said the oven wasn’t cleaned and they don’t do oven cleaning. We decided to clean the oven as much as we can ourselves. So with £1,800 deposit put and with monthly rent of £950 Touchstone they said we can move in within a week on a 12 months contract and not 6 month, why did they advertised it was available for 6 months but later changed to 12 months??? We had no choice but to go with them. We Took photos of every defects and damages on property, internal walls, carpets, oven, outside slabs etc reported to them when the heating wasn’t working the lighting wasn’t working etc paid out rent on time with no problem Continually emailed touchstone about repairs on the house to sort they never look it up. Our new home is now ready we informed Touchstone 2 months before I tenancy contract ends they haven’t even bothered to get an agent in to market the property and expected us to be around to give the viewing!! We decided to clean the property ourselves but Touchstone said we need to get the property professionally cleaned including the garden or they will deduct from our deposit!!! EXCUSE ME they never tidy the garden but left it overgrown for us and took us 2 days to sort out the garden. Why should WE pay professional to clean the garden??? Stay away from Touchstone they will rip you right off please photograph and video everywhere inside and outside the property before you move in if a property you rent is unfortunately under their management
