A business that was fronted by Homes Under the Hammer star Martin Roberts has gone bust with debts of more than £3million. Asset Academy has gone into administration and let go all of its staff, leaving behind a string of online complaints from would-be customers who say they paid out cash and heard nothing back.
Martin and his wife Kirsty had shares in the firm, which ran training sessions promising to teach would-be investors how to progress. Customers of the brand paid thousands of pounds for seminars or mentoring, reports The Mirror.
On the website, the telly star is described as an “advanced speaker”, offering to share his knowledge of buying at auction. The property expert is best known for appearing in the BBC One show Homes Under the Hammer, which shows ordinary people buying homes at auction, then doing them up for a profit.
