In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Saxton and Bob Andersen dive into the importance of conducting effective market research before starting a development project. They discuss why understanding the market is crucial, how to analyse buyer behaviour, and the risks of relying on assumptions rather than data.

Using real-world examples, they break down the key factors that contribute to successful market research, including selecting the right location, analysing demographics, and working with agents to gather insights.
