Hey everyone and welcome to the Property Podcast. I'm Rob B with of course Rob Day and this week on episode 256

We're looking at a tactic a technique and insight that you can use to get ahead of everybody else in the property market.

Yes indeed this is one you're going to want to pay attention to because this is

what we get asked all the time what everyone wants to know where is the next

property hotspot well we venture an opinion on that from time to time on the podcast, but today we're going

one better. We're helping you to find your own, so you can look around, find the next hot area,

and potentially get in early before anyone else. So that's our topic this week and as ever if you stick around

we've got a resource for you as well and it's only a bloody interactive map. Oh yes we love

a map but it's a really good one it's one that I'll actually use and not just tell

you about so make sure you listen to the end.

But before we do we always kick off with our news story and Rob a bit of a messy court case

and lots of people speculating about the outcome of this, what am I loosely alluding to?

Yeah, this is a landmark court case around the costs of leasehold and renewing short leases. This is meant to be a really big deal. The thinking was that the current

method of assessing the cost of extending short leases was going to be overturned by the court,

they were going to come out with a new one and it was going to be more

favourable to the leaseholder. In the end nothing happened. The court decided to keep things

the way they were. So it seems like no news at all, a whole big nothing, but worth mentioning because I think the reporting

around this has been really shoddy. If you read a lot of what's been in the press

around this this week you can get the impression that the costs of extending leases

are going up, you can get the impression that this affects all

leases but none of this in fact is the case. So for a start the costs of

extending leases aren't going up at all. They're just staying as they are so
