Paid £650/wk for a one bedroom that was provided in an unclean state at move-in date. I dealt with Mr Matthew Achilles and Mr Matthew Johnston who both had the arrogance to attempt to make it my problem to resolve. Stay away from these people.

Hi Andrew

I am sorry that upon move-in you found the cleanliness of your new home was below our usual standard.

Since writing your review, I understand that you have again corresponded with our Matt Johnstone and that further cleaning has been carrried out.

With this matter behind us, I hope that you are now able to settle in and start enjoying your new home.

Kind regards
Penny Graham
Touchstone

TDS have ruled in our favour and returned our full deposit- obviously the photo evidence we kept showed them exactly how this property was handed over to us, which did not correlate with the standards applied on our checkout. Dealing with touchstone has been an eye opener -shady is an understatement! If they try this trick with every tenant they must be rubbing their hands together. ...
