Why Burnley is the house 'flipping’ capital of the UK

We hear how even though tests are being distributed to care homes so relatives can see loved ones, how care home owners are worried about the reliability of the them.

House flipping, where a house is bought and sold again within a year is at it’s highest level for twelve years. Burnley in Lancashire is the House Flipping capital, we find out why.

New rules mean gambling companies have to restrict the types of special offers and bonuses they send to gamblers. But, You and Yours has seen documents that show how a company called MegaCasino delayed paying out a young gambler's £10,000 winnings, while at the same time tempting him with a challenge to win an ipad.

We usually hear how people want to get rid of their timeshares but we hear from the group of owners in Northumberland who are fighting to keep theirs and feel encouraged to give them up.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
