A road i watch has a house that was clearly done to flip that has been sat empty for 2 years now due to bad timing and its now likely 50K over priced for the area, The is likely a lot of house flippers stuck with an over renovated house.

Sorry, what’s a “house flipper”.

Buy, then immediately sell, sometimes with a coat of paint in the middle.

Somebody was living in that. I would hate to hazard a guess as to what circumstances led to that.

Some of the houses in my area were clearly bought to flip. They sold, e.g., a year ago, for a low price and now are on for a higher price with 'refurbished to a high standard' in the listings and all the standard finishing and fittings to be expected when flipping. Some of them have sold. One near me I'm particularly interested in knowing what it sold for as the price had come down but then hit a hard number that the seller wouldn't go below. But, probably not on LR for a while. 

There's one house near me that I think is ripe for a cheap offer and then full refurbishment. I viewed it and it looks terrible. My thoughts for that house is that I'm not convinced by the refurb and flip thing, but that house would be much better for it. It's probably on for £40K less than the price it would be if in better condition, but I suspect it will end up selling for less than that.

Beautiful house. 
EA in splashback and also in the Wimbledon ladies trophy thing too?

Saw a white fluffy toy dog. Then photos of a similar looking pet dog and got worried that some taxidermy had taken place ...
