The proportion of homes in England and Wales that have
been bought, renovated and sold again within a short period has hit a 12-year
high, with Burnley in Lancashire topping the list of properties most commonly
“flipped”. So far this year, one in every 40 homes sold were bought and sold
within 12 months, according to research from estate agent Hamptons
International using Land Registry data, the most since 2008. In Burnley, it was
about one in 12. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, which brought the housing
market to a standstill for several weeks, Hamptons predicts that about 23,000
homes will be flipped this year, up from 20,857 last year, and investors are on
track to make greater profits. Read more on the Guardian website.
