Inside the Property Training Debate: Samuel Leeds & Adam Lawrence Face Off

A recent debate between well-known property trainer Samuel Leeds and investor-commentator Adam Lawrence has sparked renewed interest—and controversy—across the landlord community.

In a wide-ranging and candid exchange, the two clash on everything from the ethics of property training to the role of social media in shaping public perception of the sector. The discussion covers some highly charged moments, including Leeds’ own high-profile publicity stunts—most notably a viral video where he’s seen staging an eviction while wielding a chainsaw, later revealed to be a  fabricated scene.

Lawrence questions whether such tactics risk undermining trust in the property sector. He also raises broader concerns about the standards and accountability within the property training space.

Leeds defends his approach, arguing that bold content and an energetic brand are part of how he reaches a wider audience. He maintains that his training is results-focused and community-led, pointing to examples of individuals who’ve built portfolios following his guidance.

While their views differ sharply, both agree that scrutiny and transparency are vital—and that conversations like this are long overdue.

I believe this type of debate is healthy for the sector. It prompts important questions about how the industry should evolve and where lines should be drawn.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

  • What role do you think publicity and personal branding should play in the property space?
  • Do you think debates like this help raise standards in the industry?
  • How can the sector better balance ambition, ethics, and responsibility?

Watch the video below and join the conversation in the comments. Let’s keep the dialogue open and constructive.

In one of Samuel Leed’s videos he talks about BTL Packaging, finding properties for landlord investors and charging a fee. He goes round trying to sell a property, which he does very quickly charging a finders fee of £3,000. The investor agrees to buy the property and immediately transfers £3,000 to Leed’s bank account !! I’m not saying this isn’t true how would I know it’s not. But surely the investor would pay the £3,000 to him via his solicitor at completion. Can’t believe an investor would give Leeds the money just like that.

Quite standard for people to pay upfront, you need a contract though to protect both sides
