Dishonest landlords

Property was old, not clean and in a bad state of repair when we moved in. When we moved out they kept 50% of our deposit for damage caused by their contractors. They are dishonest, if you are contemplating renting with them I would advise you to keep looking for something better.

Responsive!

Always has great comms from our property manager. Speedy responses when any queries, when ever any work has needed to be done (which has been once) it has been completed promptly! Being first time renters it was a nightmare as we’d never done this before but Shirley Driver has been informative and always been at hand when needed

Money grabbers who provide shoddy housing

Renting a property for 2 years, we have kept the house in good condition, were honest about pets, accepted the fact that they couldn't be bothered to repaint numbers on the parking spaces, so one house has 3 spaces and our house has one meaning I have to pay a higher premium insurance as it's parked on the road, first year rent increase was £50, this year it's a massive leap at £200 a month increase. What's it going to be next year? The houses are ex MOD refurbs & both doors swell in the heat & we struggle to open & close them, the builders didn't bother to remove all the rubbish on the the underlay so we have bumps and uneven floor/carpet, the ceilings are cracking, amoungst other things, but we put up with all of that because the cost of rent wasn't that high, but now we are expected to pay extra a month for a building thats barely been put back together. Oh and if you try to explain any of this your basically told if you don't like it get out. How very helpful. I would avoid these money grabbers at all cost.

Professional and communicate in a timely manner.

Touchstone have been really supportive and open to discussing issues. Staff are professional and communicate in a timely manner. Unlike other agencies, touchstone happily carry out essential repairs and maintenance without making tenants feel like a burden. Sonia was extremely helpful with the moving out process. Thank you

Exploitative 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.

Anon · 3 August 2023

HelloWe are very sorry that the deposit return process didn't run smoothly for you, it can often be a contentious subject.

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.

Be 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!

Poor organisation in terms of maintenance, key and slow response time. Also seems to be high turnover within the company as the property manager has changed over multiple times within 2 months

I could not give even one star

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.

After 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.

Absolutely awful company!! None responds to any emails, so many people have left and we only rented the property for 6 months and we had about 7 different agents and all don’t know what they are doing!!!Asked for our deposit back and they took away £400 for deep cleaning carpets which were awful when we moved in when I emailed asking to discuss this none bothered to reply or ring me back after so many phone calls and emails still no reply!! Got half our deposit back a month later!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

Health 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.
