The\nYorkshire Dales and a number of other Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are\nalso on the doorstep. A former mill town during the Industrial Revolution,\nBurnley dates back to the Medieval period and its local market has been running\nfor over 700 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Burnley&#8217;s claim to fame is as a major hotspot for property flipping in the UK, frequently appearing at or near the top of national lists for the highest number of flipped properties in the UK.

Lower overall house prices also alleviate the impact of the stamp duty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/stamp-duty-land-tax-buying-an-additional-residential-property\">surcharge<\/a> for buy-to-let properties and second homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overall average price for properties in Burnley in the last 12 months was a very affordable \u00a3156,091.
