Hey Hubbers, it's episode 267 of the Property Podcast.

I'm Rob B and with me of course is Rob D.

It's been a really interesting time for property investment over the last few years

and at pretty much the only constant has been change. So this week we look at the five

biggest changes in property investment over the last five years. Thank you for joining us on the property podcast where one thing hasn't changed.

Every week for the last five years, every Thursday morning property investors have come together to get informed and inspired.

Today we're getting a little bit nostalgic looking at all the things that have changed.

We'll be talking about those, we'll be talking about one thing that unbelievably hasn't changed,

and we'll also be rebroadcasting something that we kind of hope that no one would ever hear again.

So new story of the week time now and lo and behold Rob the government have made it again and yes

it's their favorite topic more rules and regulation

this week the news story which will be linked to in the show notes it's all about the buying

and the selling the buying and the selling, the transactions.

And actually, from what I'm reading, there seems to be some good stuff here, Rob.

Pick out a few bits and pieces at the timeline for searches, so when you buy a property you get searches from the

local authority that sometimes can go on for a while depending on how well resource

the local authority is the government's looking to put a 10 day limit on that so that's really good.

The use of reservation agreements as well so currently not used at all unless you're

buying a new build and it works really well because it shows commitment to the deal and that Rob would

ultimately mean a lot more transactions would be complete so actually for once so

far I mean there's a lot in here but what's being proposed seems all good stuff. It does. It feels like they've

gone a bit nuts and they just can't stop announcing stuff and wanting to change
