Regularly visit hot relative (5)
I believe the answer is:
haunt
'regularly visit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hot relative' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'relative' becomes 'aunt' (aunt is a type of relative).
'h'+'aunt'='HAUNT'
(Other definitions for haunt that I've seen before include "A favourite place" , "favourite spot" , "get spirits?" , "Visit as a ghost" , "Visit in spectral form" .)
