Press Release. London, UK – September 16, 2025
Respected research company Survation, whose clients include the BBC, Sky News, the Telegraph, the Guardian, Tesco and leading UK universities, has released new findings showing the impact of the Samuel Leeds Academy.
The independent study surveyed graduates of the Samuel Leeds Academy who have trained since 2020. The results show that graduates are not only making money but also actively investing in property and building long-term businesses.
According to the data:
- 83% of graduates have already made money through property deals.
- 70% say the training gave them the confidence to actively buy property.
- 53% reported that they had already made back the cost of their training, with many going far beyond this point.
- 91% said the live training with mentoring throughout was valuable.
- 82% rated their experience positively overall.
What makes the survey particularly credible is who conducted it. Survation is one of the UK’s leading polling and research firms, trusted by national institutions, broadcasters and universities to deliver accurate results. Their client list includes household names such as the BBC, Sky News, the Telegraph, the Guardian, the Daily Mail, Tesco, the University of Strathclyde and the University of Exeter.
Samuel Leeds, said the findings are confirmation that the Academy is delivering on its mission:
“The people who criticise me online are almost never my customers. My students are out there buying property, doing deals, and building wealth. This survey proves it,” Leeds said.
Graduates of the Academy are not just gaining knowledge but applying it in the real world. Many reported owning their first buy-to-let properties, securing rent-to-rent deals, or structuring joint ventures with investors as a direct result of what they learned.
The Survation research adds independent weight to what Leeds has long argued: while critics and commentators may question his outspoken style, those who go through his Academy are creating tangible results.
“You cannot ignore the numbers,” Leeds said. “This survey shows that the vast majority of my graduates are actively making money and investing in property. That is what matters.”
