ONS, Census 2021, 2021-03-21 · all local facts →Mill towns inland, a resort on the coast, and a university city at the head of the bay – three different markets on one page.
What they share is who holds the rented half. Private landlords own far more of it than councils and housing associations do, and that share has been rising through the last decade.
Terraced housing takes most of this work, close to a third of the homes in the inland towns and in the resort alike. The recurring condition is not one construction but an uneven base: patched where services were run, made good in pieces, hollow along the joist lines where the ground floor is boards. Levelling comes first; it decides the thickness that follows.

We do – the BB, PR, FY and LA postcodes are all on the delivery list, covering the inland mill towns, the streets behind the promenade, the city and its suburbs, and the coastal wards north of the estuary. An order for a managed let can be addressed to the agent rather than the tenant.
For a let, a hard-wearing LVT laid on a base that has been levelled first is the straight answer, and with private landlords buying so much of this stock it is what moves most: a let needs a decade of wear, not a lifetime. In a house being kept, engineered oak is the better buy.
Yes, and landlords use them differently from owners. If a floor has to be matched across several properties, order one sample and keep it as the reference rather than judging each job by memory. Owners refitting a single room should see the sample in daylight and again under the lamps they actually use.
Up to 10 samples per order, and up to 2 of any one product, at £1.99 each, posted to any address in Lancashire.
