Stolen Houses, Events Tourism and Spray Foam Insulation

Available for over a year

How easy is it to regain ownership of your house? Shari Vahl investigates how one man’s house was sold without him knowing and charts his battle to try and reclaim it after squatters moved in. Spray foam insulation is estimated to be in hundreds of thousands of homes across the UK and is often marketed as a cost-effective way of insulating your house and reducing your energy bills. However, concerns are mounting over how appropriate it is for some homes and the long-term problems it can cause. Airbnb searches for the cities hosting Taylor Swift’s current UK tour increased by 337% when tickets went on sale. How are large music and sporting events like this impacting the economy and are we seeing a growth in event tourism? Millennials are increasingly reliant on the Bank of Mum & Dad, according to a new survey. We hear from Dr Eliza Filby, author of a new book on the subject, about why this is and whether it is increasing inequality. PRESENTER: SHARI VAHL PRODUCER: CHARLIE FILMER-COURT
