Touchstone are a scam. Do not trust them!
Touchstone are a scam. DO NOT DO IT They rush you to sign up and then book you on the onboarding induction meeting within two days and then push you to an email they send highlighting - immediate access!!!! DO NOT PRESS that button - the warnings are not prominent for such a financial commitment IF YOU CLICK for access to find out more information about what to do it INVALIDATES your statutory cooling off period. It’s a Contract cleverly disguised. Even if you do not manage to access beyond the link on the page they say it’s a signed contract because you click for access despite no access given …..…. It’s a con. Not for people who are not IT experts or the trusting naive people like me. They took my money and refused to give me a refund after just 4 days!!!!!
Disappointed
Disappointed - I had hoped to learn a lot of what I needed to know. Instead the focus was around buying a 15k course & case studies of people from said course. Yes, there was some useful information - mindset was great and the snippets of other information but it could have been done in 2 hours rather than 2 days.

Misleading "Teaching"
Misleading "Teaching" - Two Days of Aggressive Sales Tactics I paid £99 for what was promoted as a two-day teaching course, but it was nothing more than an extended, high-pressure sales pitch for a £15,000, 12-month program. The vast majority of the "two days" was dedicated to trying to upsell attendees. If you removed all the "put a 1 in the chat box" requests, the depressing American motivational videos, and the "student success stories" (most from five years ago claiming millions in earnings), this entire event could have been condensed into an hour. On the final day, the aggressive tactics escalated, with one Scottish speaker resorting to swearing at attendees. It seemed they mistook people's reluctance to part with £15,000 for fear, when in reality, many were expressing genuine financial hardship, stating they couldn't afford it and were struggling to put food on the table, especially after paying £99 for what turned out to be a prolonged advertisement. The constant narrative from one of the female presenters, about how she did this for her family, was in £24,000 debt but spent £20,000 on the course, and now spends all her time with her kids, felt disingenuous. Not only was she spending her weekend trying to sell this expensive course, but she also claimed to take one week of foreign holidays every month – which contradicts the idea of spending "all her time with her kids." The suggestion of putting £10,000 on a credit card when in significant debt, or relying on a brother for a £10,000 loan, isn't a realistic or responsible option for many attendees. They heavily pushed a narrative of limited spaces, claiming only "33 places" were available and implying only a few were left by Sunday afternoon. This tactic, designed to create urgency, seemed particularly manipulative given that they are clearly running more "two-day courses" throughout the month, which I can only assume will magically have more "bargain" £15,000 places become available. The potential earnings of over £450,000 from just one weekend's worth of sales (33 x £15k) highlight the true nature of this "course." In summary, do not expect genuine teaching or value for your money. This is a thinly veiled, high-pressure sales event designed to extract a significant sum from attendees. It's crucial to note that this company is based in Liechtenstein, NOT the UK. Perhaps the biggest red flag. It's my understanding under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, for most online purchases, you have a legal right to a 14-day "cooling-off" period to change your mind and receive a refund. However, these rights typically do not apply to Digital products, such as online courses, after you have been given access to them (with notification from us that you would not be able to cancel) or have started to download or stream them. A significant concern is that by immediately starting the £15k program after the initial two days, they appear to be leveraging a loophole in the Consumer Contracts Regulations regarding digital products to remove any cancellation rights. This immediate access means you are instantly stripped of your legal right to cancel, as you've been given access to the digital product. It's a calculated move to trap customers into a £15,000 commitment with no recourse. On a potentially positive note, their own terms (18.6) state that the terms are governed by English law, and both parties agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. This suggests that despite being a Liechtenstein company, they acknowledge and potentially allow for legal action in the UK ------------------------------------------------------------ Reply 25/06/2025 It seems you haven't reviewed your own sales emails. Your claim that the £99 event is "clearly advertised as an introductory experience, designed to showcase the value of our full education programme" contradicts your email's promises of "Expert Training," "Success Techniques," "Valuable Resources," "Networking," and a "CPD Certificate." The event offered minimal to no actual training, tools, or networking. It was not advertised as a "showcase" I never stated your students weren't real; rather, they seemed present solely to promote your £15k course, not as part of any training. The aggressive and manipulative tactics used on Sunday, including constant pressure to pay £15k, deleting chat comments, and an operative swearing, are unacceptable and not what I'd consider good practice. I never claimed you didn't comply with UK consumer regulations. However, by immediately starting the 12-month course, attendees lost their legal right to cancel, you offer no other explanation. You asked for my review, I have honestly given that so please use it constructively.

An empty experience
For someone who doesn’t know anything about property this didn’t help further my knowledge and talking to a coach over on WhatsApp didn’t help either as I believe their answers were ever pre recorded and/or chose to evade my questions. For example the CPD that was promised at the end of the 2 day sessions was not talked about. Also gave me very much cult vibes

High pressure sales instead of valuable education
Touchstone Education felt more like a high-pressure sales operation than a true learning experience. Challenging questions in the chat were repeatedly deleted - I initially thought it was a glitch, but after scrolling through multiple times to find the messages, it became clear this was intentional and happened on several occasions. Meanwhile, easier questions were answered, making the selective filtering obvious. The content was shallow, focused mostly on vague success stories without practical details or real strategies. They pushed their paid academy aggressively, using guilt tactics like “if you don’t pay, what’s your plan?”, didn't offer any sort of payment plans - instead encouraging loans or spreading costs over credit cards. Even now, two days after the event - when they claimed it would sell out and that the price would jump to £22,000 - I realised I still had the tab open on my laptop, and everything still works at the £15,000 price (I haven’t bought the course and have since closed the tab). So don’t feel pressured into making a decision there and then. Definitely not a good use of my time, and I’m thankful I didn’t spend £15,000 - especially after seeing what others have experienced.

Wealth Through Property two-day online event
I attended a two-day online event. Having listened to Paul and Abi on other occasions, I know that they know their stuff. My bugbear: As the two days continued, there was more and more emphasis on how important it was to join the Wealth Academy and less emphasis on how to actually generate wealth through property (unless the only way to generate wealth through property is via the Wealth Academy). In fact, on day 2, it was nearly all about the Wealth Academy which costs £15k. I can see how it would be possible to make that back very quickly, if successful, with the networking and support that is available, but for a person who has no existing network (family or friends) with access to that kind of money and no means of getting hold of it, the program is out of reach. I think there was valuable information shared, but I feel that it could be compressed into one day, perhaps 1.5 days max. Ideas for improvement: 1. Tone down the 'hard sell' a lot. Because of this, I can't give a 4* rating. 2. Provide a payment plan or similar for those who would do well but just cannot, for whatever reason, access the money.

Very disappointed
Very disappointed with the only option of one off payment of almost £16000 to access the academy. You cannot enter the academy if you don't have the above amount of money available straight away . There are no instalments options. They just want you to raise your funds during the 2 days course which is by the way a waste of your time as it is all about strategies that don't get explained to you but only mentioned. It is all about making you imagining to be rich. But They claim they want to help people getting rich, but for what I ve seen they only care about getting the course full paid before you know anything with the promise that if you do not make money it will be refunded. I would doubt it.. they might ended up saying that the reason why you are not successful is because you haven't used the strategy correctly. Anyway, I would have appreciated to know this before I would have saved 100£ spent for the two day webinar, absolutely useless. Edit: Just want to reply in regards the installments option. If you pay in installments you basically pay double price for the one year course. I don't think this can be called option !!

Touchstone Academy
The 2 days training was an eye opener for me in terms of property investment. I very much like the different strategies in buying or making business through properties. I want my knowledge on property investment to propel me towards a concrete action in managing a property investment business.

The team here helped take away the fear of starting something new that can be life transforming, helped us in taking that bold step for change. The 2 days course helped my husband and I gain insight into what must be done to create a change in our status, and we did take it. Thank you.
