However, there are significant complaints regarding the perceived lack of structure and the pressure to invest additional money beyond the initial course fees. Some attendees feel that the promotional claims about "zero cost" investments are misleading, leading to frustration about unexpected expenses. While many find the content valuable, others describe experiences as unstructured and filled with upselling tactics.

Buyer beware - Investment is not at 'zero cost' as advertised
Buyer beware:
I've just attended one of their webinars advertised as "Big Property Profits. Zero Property Problems"
At the beginning they expressly promoted it as "How to invest in commercial property for zero outlay".
Turns out they are actually selling a 2 day course for £99 (reduced from £495 if you buy it before the webinar finishes... so they are applying subtle pressure techniques.
Towards the end of the 1hr webinar, when all the fluffy sales pressure was being applied, several people posted messages to say, how can they invest with zero savings... and pointing out this was advertised as 'zero outlay'. In fact, many of the examples required using pension or savings to the tune of £54k to £134k.
When I posted a note to say the following, they immediately kicked me out of the meeting...
"This was advertised as 'Zero outlay '... but it's not zero... so it's misleading"
Apart from that... I thought the webinar was good... though some cracks maybe starting to appear...
Update:
Reading other reviews about the 2 day course... and it's evident that it heavily promotes Touchstones 12 month course... which is £15k...!!!!! 😱

I’ve been working with Nick Rowland through TouchStone Education, and his support has been nothing short of outstanding. He’s helped me refine my strategy, connect with valuable contacts, and provided clear, actionable advice at every step. Nick has a rare ability to combine big-picture thinking with practical, real-world solutions, and his guidance has given me the confidence to take my plans further than I thought possible. I genuinely appreciate his expertise, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommended for anyone serious about achieving their goals in property investing.
Waste of time, not structured enough, not focussed, less than a third of the time useful
Review: Touchstone Education – Property Flipping Event
Event length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Useful content: Approx. 15 minutes
Overall verdict: Disappointing, pushy upsell, minimal actual teaching.
I saw the negative reviews beforehand, so was cautious.
Please if there are such companies and people who are millionaires, stop trying to sell to those who are not. Pay it forward. It is so frustrating. Share for free step by step from the beginning with evidenced financials of how one got there. Same goes for all the other millionaires on instagram, social media, etc. Greed is ugly. This is an exploitation of vulnerability. Charging for knowledge that could be shared freely can be seen as taking advantage of individuals seeking self-improvement or financial advancement. Perceived lack of authenticity:
Some courses from millionaires are perceived as attempts to capitalise on their wealth and status rather than genuine educational offerings.
I went to a different one last night, this one was long and just chatted without learning anything the first 20 minutes, then it goes on to trying to upsell you to pay for their 2 day course. You do not actually therefore learn anything the first 20-25 minutes!
With this company, the chat is private - big red flag! I put all this in the chat box, I challenged and asked: "What are we going to learn in this meeting?" Touchstone Education put: "flipping property". 24 minutes in Property Flipping started to be talked about. Cut the first half hour. Other companies give more info in half the time. Cut the psychology videos that do not teach us how to property flip, but instead about psychology. Focus on teaching how to property flip. Only 15 minutes about property flipping.
Points learnt:
1. To utilise the rooms as bedrooms.
2. Hot tubs are key for holiday lets - other companies also say this, but give you the financial difference.
3. KFC pay £15k if you find a good empty building for them.
4. Rightmove Commercial Allsop.
5. Funding flips if no money, private finance, e.g. a dentist.
6. As a limited company, can borrow money within 2 weeks?
Stayed the whole time incase I missed anything, but it was a waste of time. Constant upselling, too pushy, every few minutes until at least the first half hour! Then again after 45 minutes again. Apparently a financial analyser and net worth calculator worth £5k included in the payment only 2 day course. I asked at the end: "Please may you share what you did specifically with financials from the beginning?" Just all focussed on referring back to the 2 day course.
1 hour 22 minutes, far too long, so much time wasted.
Some errors with the use of lend, borrow, lent, borrowed, etc.
Mirrored a pattern that’s unfortunately common in the “get rich” seminar space — where the primary goal is upselling, not teaching.
What you’ve described highlights several red flags:
1. Front-loading with fluff instead of substance
* The first 20–30 minutes were spent on chatting, psychology videos, or “warming up” the audience rather than giving practical property flipping instruction.
* This is a deliberate pacing tactic: build rapport, lower skepticism, then pitch.
2. Minimal actual value compared to time invested
* Out of the whole session, you walked away with only a handful of genuinely actionable points (rooms as bedrooms, hot tubs for holiday lets, KFC finder’s fee, Rightmove Commercial/Allsop, private finance sources).
* Other companies apparently give the same or more in a fraction of the time.
3. Aggressive and repetitive upselling
* “Only” a 2-day course costing hundreds or thousands, positioned as the “real” source of value.
* Frequent interjections pushing the sale (“worth £5k bonuses” etc.) break the flow and reduce trust.
4. Lack of transparency and open discussion
* Private chat only, rather than public Q&A, prevents peer-to-peer validation of claims.
* It’s easier for them to filter or avoid difficult questions.
5. Language and professionalism issues
* Even basic grammatical slips like incorrect use of lend vs borrow undermine credibility when you’re selling yourself as an expert.
Firstly I am so honoured and happy that Abi, Gordie, Paul & Aniko all gave us their time. It was a truly mind blowing weekend, so much to take away. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to enroll on the academy but would love to learn more about the deal package strategy. The 2 day event was so educational that I haven’t learnt anything like this in any seminar. It was clear all the hosts and speakers were sharing real experiences. The energy was amazing. Abi and Gordie were so genuine and humble. I just wish I could have a mentor for the strategy. All the guys that signed up will be success stories on the next event. Thank you so much for making it an amazing weekend for this dreamer!!♥️😘🫡
Unfortunately when I bought this course I did know I’d need another 15k to progress, I think it should be explained before. It was a lot of success stories of people that had money to begin with
My husband and I attended the 2 day course to gain more knowledge, we found the course to be very inspiring, and felt that we were now part of the community and the help and support from the academy was exceptional. We signed up and excited to start this amazing new journey to financial freedom.
Started of interesting, took at least until second half of the first day for the academy to be mentioned. Second day started of with an hour of academy selling session, second half of the day was basically useless with nothing done but to SELL every single place of the academy left. In my honesty, if you are promising a 2 day “21 strategy” course for £99, you should concentrate on those people who paid to be there rather than making then feel they don’t matter anymore. Don’t regret the £99, but would never pay £459 or whatever you say it costs, and you would never charge that. Lots of selling techniques with one single goal!
I really I indeed enjoyed the two days training to it was an eye opener to know that life is not all about work and work yet nothing to look forward to with Touchstone Education I know there is hope for the future. Thanks

The experience was a great eye opener, i found Gordie and Abi very inspiring and they gave me the kick up the bum i need to get my property business off the ground.
I found the two-day course to be incredibly informative and enriching. I appreciated the opportunity to absorb the material presented and took extensive notes for future reference.
However, I felt that the constant sales push to attend their £15,000 12-month training program was a bit excessive, especially since the £99 already paid was for the two-day training and not for an additional sales pitch. I would have preferred more training to be provided during the two days instead of enduring numerous sales presentations.
That said, I must admit that if I were ten or even twenty years younger, I would have been very tempted to invest that kind of money to learn from individuals with proven success and who inspire others to pursue their goals.
Whistle stop tour of all the many strategies and guidance available through the academy
The course was detailed and although fast paced at times was very informative and useful for getting a better idea of what is possible with investing in property from a standing start.
Personally, I have gained a lot of useful knowledge and a very clear idea of what is on offer for those who sign up to the next level and join the Academy.
Whilst there is a heavy emphasis on the benefits of the Academy, I felt that the presenters are not overly pushy or Salesy and are very much focused on illustrating the potential in the models and how it can be achieved / faster with their support.
I thought that the course delivery was very professional and personable at the same time and the direct contact offered for additional assistance and questions via the success executives at Touchstone is useful given the online format.
I would recommend this course for anyone who is thinking about investing in property
