To avoid publically naming the company until I give them chance to reply to my email, I have private messaged you with the website.

Ok - looks clear to me it's aimed at those self-employed in property investment (or aiming to be), rather than consumers. So I think a B2B contract and therefore up to you to satisfy yourself on (or negotiate) the terms before handing over cash.

Which is correct but the wording is key "or loss of profit."
Which in this case is key. The only way they can mitigate this is by finding someone to take your place which they could only do if they had limited places. They will have unlimited places available so that's not going to happen. Even as a consumer this is legally binding on you.


The kicker is they will even have a case for the balance.


This is clearly aimed at the B2B market so I doubt very much you are even a consumer for this contract but you need to tell us who they are to confirm this. You don't need to be in business to enter a contract clearly intended for business purposes.

Hmm, so the course is the Property Protege done by a company called Paul McFadden Wealth. https://www.paulmcfadden.com The protege course is a 4 day 'intensive' course pitched at people who come on the taster day. I myself am not self-employed, not sure if this makes a blind bit of difference...
