I have joined the touchstone community recently and have had a very positive experience. The owners, coaches, team and community are all super supportive of each other. I attended my first deal clinic yesterday, which was fantastic and had a quick one to one with Rob Cottingham. I was very impressed with Robs knowledge passion and calm approach. I’m looking forward to expanding my portfolio 💪❤️
I had a 121 with Rob Cottingham yesterday at the deal clinic. Rob was very enthusiastic and positive which is exactly the type of person I like to deal with. After we had discussed my questions it was useful to hear some of Rob’s examples of what he had achieved with property so that you can start thinking outside the box with your own situation.

Joined the Wealth Academy last month and like many of us having a great feeling of overwhelm; however, I attended my first Deal Clinic at Twickenham yesterday and the love that the Touchstone Team have for us is so amazing! I had such a great day and I want to shout out Touchstone Coach Rob who gave up his lunchtime for me for a 1:1 to help me with the start of my journey. Rob was so down to earth and was able to relate to all the feelings I have been experiencing, but helped me really work on my mindset in preparation for our journey through these next 12 months. The kind and empathetic approach was hugely appreciated and has made more more determined to achieve through the support and learning of Touchstone. Thank you Rob!!
Amazing day.
Attending the Deal Clinic hosted by Touchstone Academy was a great experience from start to finish. As a first-time participant, I found the event incredibly insightful and well-organized. The sessions were packed with value, the team was welcoming and professional, and the overall atmosphere was inspiring. Also, the food was a definite highlight—delicious and well thought-out, which made the day even more enjoyable.
Attended the online 2 day wealth education , paid £99 and did learn some information related to commercial property purchases. However over 8 hours each day too much time wasted hearing about there wealth and how they made it rich, no verification of this and advise was thin and not certified or regulated by any uk authority. Also this £15k to pay for next stage is frankly too much and pressure pushing over the 2 days especially by Abby, she gives her story about how she made it and tells you we can all do it too, felt like a guilt trip and oversold. I saw many ppl on the 2 days ask about the cost but no breakdown of it or payment terms, £15k upfront and promises of wealth later...these claims should be independently verified. For me too much upselling and no detailed advice. I'm sure most information and brokers can be found without paying £15k
On the first day I learned the things which I didn’t know about property investment and felt very excited, but on the second day I was disappointed as the class was only focused on getting everyone to sign up for the 12 months academy for £14995 which kind of put me off from the whole thing which left me confused and loose the focus.
We joined after the initial 2 day training. At that training we learned enough that had we known sooner, we would have saved the entire cost of the full year course. We are now doing property deals that we would not have had the confidence (at all) to look at. The mentoring system gave us the ability to change 'risks' into 'things we are doing with assistance'. We have had excellant advice. The (nearly) daily Q&A sessions are superb for improving our skills and understanding. The community is warm and welcoming The whole experience has been better than we expected
The training was very empowering and assuring. One of my challenges in moving on has always been 'fear of the unknown'. This course has enlightened me to overcome the 'gremlins' especially family and friends alike. The only reason I could not sign up yesterday was the finance and hopefully I will be able to sign up another time when I would be fully prepared and ready. It was an excellent mind blowing experience and makes me to want more for myself and my generation.
Had a great first one to one session with Beth. Very enthusiastic and full of energy. Beth discussed the strategies that I am considering and gave some golden nuggets of advice. We agreed on next steps and homework to do before my next session. Looking forward to it!
I just stepped out of a really inspirational coaching session with Geraldine, I came away with many action points and a clear direction forward with the property I am planning to add to my portfolio, I definitely feel more confident to proceed with the deal, thank you Geraldine!
I have been a member of touchstone since last year and it has really opened my eyes on what is out there to invest in. The main thing I have gained is not to fear good debt when trying to generate long term wealth. Touchstone have also laid out clear instructions on how to achieve various goals together with sound mentorship. I have invested in buy to let housing since I joined through a limited company, this was all explained to me on how to do it and am assisted anytime required. Key thing Touchstone changed was my mindset.
Geraldine was awesome: being told we are good at what we do and it is time to step up to the next level was an unexpected compliment and a treasured moment. It is challenging building a new business and feedback from a trusted coach is compelling.
I joined the WA back in Dec 24, feeling quick anxious about what I was about to commit to or lose out on a chunk of savings. My journey so far has been a very positive one, not knowing what to expect. The communication, group activity, local meets have been amazing and very reassuring. It's a slow and steady process and you need to commit, listen, join the Q&A as the insights from everyone help resonate with what you might be thinking, going through or to give you the ideas to move forward. I would love to give my first 4 coaches I've meet so far, a massive shoutout and thank you for keeping me straight and positive to move forward another month. Geraldine Murphy (Jan25), John Davidson (Feb25), Indy Gill (Mar25) and Beth Bird (Apr25).
