Property Investment Courses for Beginners
Learn first. Invest with confidence.
Learn how to find, assess and buy investment property with a clear plan. Our practical property investment course brings together property, legal and finance experience in one day.
New to investing? Start with the fundamentals, explore real deals and learn the questions to ask prior to auction. Join Dominic Farrell, Claire Farrell and Joshua Lee in London or live online.
Start your property investment journey
You do not need a property portfolio to begin learning. Our property investment courses help beginners understand how a potential deal works, what can go wrong and which questions to ask before committing money.
Find opportunities. Explore auctions, repossessions and distressed property, and learn to research locations and comparable sales.
Check the numbers. Consider the purchase price, fees, refurbishment, finance and a realistic exit strategy. Learn why a low asking price alone does not make a good investment.
Prepare before you bid. Understand the role of legal packs, surveys and funding, with practical input from property, legal and finance professionals.

"I attended the one-day training (purely by accident) in 25th November 2023 after coming across Dominic's book Property Auctions: Repossessions, Bankruptcies and Bargain Properties: The Expert's Guide To Success In All Market Conditions (which is an excellent read).
A couple of things struck me about Dominic and his team.
Firstly Dominic is an expert in property trading and especially at buying and selling at auctions having done it for decades. He clearly understands distressed assets and more importantly where to find these hidden gems and how to evaluate them to see if they are a bargain to be bought or one to walk away from. He does this with credibility and confidence both for himself and his clients. The fact that his wife Claire is a professional lawyer, and also trainer on the course, is a huge bonus.
Also unique about the one-day event was the exclusivity ie there was only a small group of serious attendees (investors and sourcers) in the group. Unlike conventional events you go to with perhaps 200+ participants where the general idea is to get as many credit cards swiped as possible, this was the exact opposite. In fact in conclusion there was NO hard sell of any kind, none whatsoever.
Highly recommended."

"I attended the Distressed Assets property course in London 25th November 2023. I had never attended a property seminar before, however, I had been wanting to invest in property for a while and had never been sure what the best route would be, for me and my circumstances.
After attending the seminar, I had a much clearer vision and plan moving forward. The course was packed with information about distressed assets, property auctions, financing and the legal process.
It was based on real-life experiences and examples, from genuine people, Dom & Claire. I made some good connections at the course, keeping in touch with like-minded people and sharing stories after the event.
And most importantly, made my first investment only 2 weeks later, on a property that ticked all my boxes. Excited for the future, and looking forward to the next weekend long course in Liverpool."
