The course content was really helpful in giving an overview of the variety of property investments. Having presenters that you can interact with is really great. I also appreciated hearing from previous and current students. But what was also really helpful was thinking about mindset and challenging possibilities. That was really insightful. This would be a great course for someone who is interested in property investment and wants to have a high level overview and a plan for next steps.

I really enjoyed the 2 day course, it really opened my mind up to all the possibilities of property investing and gave me the kick up the butt I needed to get on with it. Since the course I have gone on to set up my limited company, secured finance and got all my ducks in a row ready for an auction soon to take place which will hopefully result in our first flip. I wouldn't say that the coaches were trying to hard sell the Wealth Academy as I have seen in other comments. They are just passionate about what they do. I didn't sign up to the Wealth Academy but to be honest, knowing what I know now, I am regretting not signing up at the discounted rate because I can totally see the value in what the Wealth Academy provides. I also reached out to some of the students via social media and chatting 1 on 1 who have confirmed for me that it is a worthy investment. The Wealth Academy is definitely something I will be looking to invest in in the future when looking to take on some new strategies and I want to further my education.
I attended the two day Touchstone Education course 'Wealth Through Property' on the 21st & 22nd March 2025. This was after attending a free lunchtime webinar run by Abi Hookway that I came across on Instagram after following Abi's account and posts for around a month. For the cost of £99 and the ease of doing this course from my home office I found the content, presentation and information received very informative and worth the money I paid, it was actually a lot of fun. I have now acted only 1 full day after the course ending and put an offer in on a property. I did already have my Ltd company and business bank account set up last week, so I was ready to start, as well as already taking tax and accounting advice from a friend who is an accountant and another friend who is a Mortgage Broker. I come from a family of builders and I'm a Planner so I have 20 years experience in development and planning, so it's not like the sector is completely new to me. The only negative that formed part of the course was the hard sell for the mentorship 12 month program, this was £14,995 if purchased on the day. I have no doubt that the mentorship program and guarantee was worth this cost, but like me I got the impression there were a lot of others on the course that could not afford this mentorship, or wanted to do it but had bad credit like me after a divorce and were unable to get a loan to fund it. One of the male presenters was extremely ignorant of the fact that not everyone could secure that sort of level of funds immediately. He was great in the rest of the course and an absolute laugh a minute, but that was a disappointment, the attitude towards the fact that 'if you didn't sign up meant that you can't be bothered and you didn't really want this', when those were not the facts at all for most that had already paid to be on this course. That's the impression I got from some of the questions being asked from attendees. I myself came away a little disheartened that I had no way to secure the funds to do the Mentorship immediately. It felt a little like this was hidden in the sign up information and they weren't upfront about this, perhaps if Touchstone were then attendees would of been able to secure funds or talk to family about borrowing the funds and sign up on the day. On reflection and from the research I have already done the course gave me exactly what I needed to make a start straightway on my own, I knew loads more than I did before the two days, even if it was on my own and not on a fast tracked mentorship with all the blueprint and template documents you get on the mentorship program, as well as the check ins/planning with your chosen mentor.
Very informative & inspiring, I would recommend anyone for this as it’s knowledge that could change your life.
Deceptive Practices & Unethical Sales Tactics – Avoid at All Costs! I was misled into signing up for Touchstone's program through aggressive and manipulative sales tactics. During the webinar, a so-called "mentor" was actively messaging me on WhatsApp, pressuring me to sign up. I have a full record of these messages, which clearly indicated that if I changed my mind, I would be entitled to a refund. This was even reiterated in the closing minutes of the webinar, creating a false sense of security. Trusting these promises, I signed up. Within 15 minutes of the webinar ending, I received an email inviting me to a “welcome meeting” at 5:45. What they failed to disclose was that by merely clicking the link to attend, I was unknowingly waiving my legal right to withdraw within 14 days. This was never made clear—just hidden in fine print with no transparency. The next morning, after reflecting on my financial situation, I requested to withdraw, only to be told that I had forfeited my right to a refund. Despite my repeated complaints, This company’s representative, outright refused to escalate my case to the directors, and ignored my requests for direct contact details. Instead, she coldly suggested I take the matter to the Ombudsman—clearly showing they have no interest in ethical business practices or customer satisfaction. I have now raised a formal dispute with my bank and will be reporting this company to Trading Standards and the Ombudsman. I am out of pocket by £15,000, while Touchstone walks away with over £1 million from just one weekend of aggressive, misleading sales. This company thrives on high-pressure tactics, legal loopholes, and customer exploitation, ensuring they rake in millions while silencing complaints with a well-prepared legal team. Even my assigned "mentor" admitted there was nothing he could do. BE WARNED: Do NOT trust the refund assurances they give you in the webinar. Their business model is built on deception, and once they have your money, they will do everything to keep it. If you value honesty, integrity, and financial security—stay far away from Touchstone! I would welcome a call from the directors but off the screen they appear to be 'Ghost' , unreachable characters.
Although this two day course was helpful in respect to having my eyes opened to new opportunities. Don’t be fooled, It’s very much a two day sales pitch. After receiving a welcome pack which gives you all of their courses, prices and options of learning, this course only seemed to focus on pushing (and I mean pushing) their most expensive one. Not only do they push it hard, they offer a large discount during the two day course, making you believe that you’re getting a great deal - without explaining how or why they can reduce the course from £22k to £15k. They talk about due diligence when making deals in property, but they don’t allow you time to do your due diligence when dropping £15k of your own savings, or even worse encouraging you to get into debt to fund it. (And yes, my success executive suggested that “previous students have looked to their bank for a personal loan to fund the academy”) When asking detailed questions during the two days, we were simply met with “don’t get bogged down in the details, think big picture” - sorry guys, I want to do some due diligence here! Ultimately, if they really wanted to help and educate us, they would hear the concerns of the people that can’t drop £15k spontaneously, and offered cheaper more affordable options that they clearly offer in the welcome pack, but their job is to push their big ticket option only. There may be something to learn from this academy, but it’ll cost you a lot of money to delve into it properly. Be warned, if you want your £99 refunded from not getting enough value from the two days, you must tell them before starting day two otherwise you’re not entitled to it.
The course was informative and eye opening. I think you get a good taster to property investment. However, I really disliked their insistence that anyone could find the £14,995 cost to fund a membership for their place in the wealth academy. Everyone’s circumstances are different and people shouldn’t be pushed to get into debt to join the academy. They should also make it clear when you sign up to the one hour talk that the full course is £14,995 and the 2 day course is only a foundation.
Amazing course thank you
Being my first deal clinic , I was so impressed with the organisation of the event, everyone was so friendly , approachable and happy to help. The students did an amazing job of presenting their deals. Can’t wait for the next event 😁
Our Touchstone Education Journey My husband and I joined Touchstone Education around November 2024, and what can we say? We absolutely love it! Being part of Touchstone Education and the Wealth Academy has given us the confidence to take on challenges we would never have dared to tackle on our own. The quality of education is exceptional, and the staff have been nothing short of amazing—always helpful, kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in our success. It’s truly inspiring to partner with an organisation that cares so deeply about helping others achieve their goals. We’ve also been incredibly impressed by the insightful content and engaging leadership of Paul Smith and his team. Joining the Wealth Academy has been one of the best investments we’ve ever made, and we’re excited to see where this journey takes us! ❤️
Really quick response to having to change my weekend date. Unfortunately I don’t have the investment needed until a few more weeks but I have gained lots of information and will revisit to join the academy if they will have me! I think you need to remember they are also running a business and have a sales technique. You can either join them or not. I do respect the way they want to support you to run a ‘property business’ and not just go and ‘do up some houses for profit’.
Firstly.I am a general builder. The mentors have give me something very very valuable. Even that short 2 day I have realised all what I have missed to do till my mid 40s. That 2 day was unique violently positive stroke on me :) Life is under transform. Bee on the spot. Listen carefully all what they say. You will find the rest. You about to make it. Thank you.
Had our 1-2-1 with John Davidson, have been on a few questions and answers with John so decided to have our second 1-2-1 with him which was great, he has so much knowledge and explains it all in easy to understand terms. John has set the record straight for us, he has helped us work out which way to move forward regarding property we already have, now we can start to move forward with a little more confidence. We are really enjoying the knowledge we are learning from touchstone and looking forward to getting much more involved over the next couple of months. Thank you John.
I did a 2-day Wealth Through Property webinar course. It was interesting, informative, and very professional. The presenters were engaging and entertaining. Abi was full of enthusiasm and shared so much knowledge and insight with us. I was very impressed with the course and would recommend it to anyone thinking of investing in property.
