Alfa Romeo launches personal contract hire option for EV trial
The scheme centres around the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Speciale and is designed to offer a temporary driving arrangement with the option to extend, switch, or terminate after six months.
The Flex & Free initiative is structured to support drivers considering the transition to EVs by allowing them to evaluate the suitability of an EV for their lifestyle without a long-term obligation.
The contract includes additional benefits such as a complimentary wall box for home charging and an included service plan from Alfa Romeo.
Managed by Stellantis Financial Services, the scheme permits customers, after at least five months, to give one month's notice to either end their personal contract hire agreement or select a different vehicle on a new finance agreement.
Alfa Romeo UK managing director Jules Tilstone said: 'This offer is designed for those who want to try an EV without the fear of commitment. We are confident that when someone experiences the Junior Elettrica and feels that special Alfa Romeo DNA all our models share, they'll fall in love with it.
'They'll also benefit from the free wall box to make home charging simple and affordable.'
The Junior Elettrica Speciale is available under the 'Flex & Free' personal contract hire from £499 per month, on a 48-month term with an initial rental of £1,497.
Alfa Romeo is also offering an EV grant that reduces the cost of the Junior Elettrica by £1,500.
The vehicle itself is equipped with a 156hp electric motor and has a range of up to 255 miles on a single charge, according to WLTP standards.
It supports fast charging, allowing for a 20%-80% charge using a 100kW charger.
The exterior features a sports styling kit while the interior is furnished with a range of amenities, including an electrically operated driver's seat with massage function, a leather steering wheel, and advanced driver assistance systems.
Standard equipment also comprises a heat pump, a Mode 3 charging cable, and an 11kW on-board charger.

Man United fans make their thoughts known on Ineos' tenure
Manchester United fans have spoken on how they view new owners Ineos' time at the club to date. Ineos takeover There is no question that United's majority owners, the Glazer family, are deeply unpopular but the jury is out on Ineos. The company owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought a minority stake in the club in 2023 and have been at the centre of some huge changes at the football club. There has been a complete revamp of the football structure, the manager and coaching team and numerous new signings at senior and youth team level. Mixed reviews According to a poll undertaken by The Peoples Person, 32% of respondents felt that 'the good outweighs the bad' in what Ineos have done at Old Trafford. Despite a terrible season last year, head coach Ruben Amorim is a popular figure amongst fans and many new signings such as Leny Yoro and Matheus Cunha have been welcomed by supporters. United have also seen the revamp of their Carrington training ground and plans put in place for a new 100,000 seater stadium. Storm clouds have gathered Nonetheless 24% of fans claimed that they have been average while 18% believe that Ineos' tenure has been 'mostly disappointing.' The garden has not always been rosy for Sir Jim Ratcliffe as The 1958 have been very active in protests against some of the club's decisions and they are planning a demonstration against the British billionaire before the opening game of the Premier League season. What's more, the club have also taken some deeply unpopular decisions such as large-scale job cuts, the increase of matchday ticket prices and the removal of Sir Alex Ferguson's ambassadorial role. Finally, some people have taken more extreme views with 16% agreeing with the statement that Ineos have been responsible for an 'absolute sh**show' while 10% feel they have been 'excellent' and a 'breath of fresh air.' Mixed bag All in all, the majority fans view Ineos as a mixed bag. 42% of readers view the new owners as generally positive, while 34% see them in a generally negative light. That leaves 24% of people who haven't really made up their mind as of yet. With the signing of Benjamin Sesko looking likely and the links to Brighton and Hove Albion's Carlos Baleba heating up, Ineos will be hoping to convince a few more fans with an incredibly successful summer window.

How you can still make money from flipping property
In the Nineties and Noughties, a significant number of property investors — and ordinary owner-occupiers — were making large amounts of money from buying properties in need of refurbishment, doing them up quickly and selling them on at a profit, aka flipping. But, 20 years on, this practice is much less common. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Personalized rates in minutes A quicker path to financial freedom Your Path to Homeownership According to recent figures from Hamptons Research, in the first quarter of 2025, the proportion of homes bought and then re-sold within a year (ie flipped) fell to 2.3% across England and Wales, down from 3.6% in Q1 2024. This equated to 7,301 flipped homes in Q1 2025, 27% below the 10-year Q1 average. The average profit of these Q1 2025 flips was £22,000 and Hamptons found that while 80% of flipped homes were sold for a higher price in Q1 2025, only 66% made a profit. So, how can you still make money from flipping? We spoke to several experts to find out. Why has flipping property become less profitable? While there are several factors eating into flippers' profits, the main one is stamp duty. Not only have rates increased over the last 20 years, but property price inflation means that more properties are liable for this tax, while investors with multiple properties have to pay stamp duty at an additional rate. Read more: What are branded residences and who's buying them? 'Bigger stamp duty bills are wiping out a lot of profit from flipping. The 5% surcharge for investors, coupled with a reduction in the point at which buyers start paying stamp duty, means it's harder than ever to make the sums stack up,' says Aneisha Beveridge, head of research at Hamptons. The average stamp duty bill which was once around 10% of a flipper's gross profit, now swallows up around 30%. 'As recently as 20 years ago the highest rate of stamp duty was 2%. Now it is 12%, plus an extra 2% if you are an overseas buyer and an additional 3% if you own a property anywhere else in the world. So, you could be paying as much as 15% of the value in tax,' flags Marc Schneiderman, director, Arlington Residential. Renovating a property has also become more expensive, meaning investors need to pay out increasing amounts initially. 'Renovation costs have also risen, while inflation in both labour and materials, along with new compliance requirements such as energy efficiency standards, has increased upfront investment and overall project risk,' says Caroline Marshall-Roberts, CEO and founder of BuyAssociation. Read more: The pros and cons of buying property off-plan Sarah Walker, owner of Walker Hall Estate Agent, gives the example of a kitchen refurb. 'A kitchen that might have been £8,000 just a few years ago can easily come in at £15,000 or more once you factor in appliances, fitting and VAT.' What's more, the reduction of the capital gains allowance and stricter rules on what can be claimed on this make tax-efficient renovations difficult. 'Combine this with uncertain market timing and tighter lending conditions, and today's property investors looking to flip properties are dealing with thinner margins and greater exposure to downturns,' adds Marshall-Roberts. Which areas of the UK are still profitable when it comes to flipping? There are still areas of the country where you can flip and make a profit. According to Hamptons Research, the North East is the only region where flipping has become more common over the last decade. This is predominantly due to the prevalence of homes costing less than £40,000, well below the stamp duty threshold of £125,000. 'We still see some success in parts of the North West, in particular in certain areas of the Wirral, where property prices are lower and demand is steady,' says Liam Gretton, Bespoke Estate Agent. 'Buyers are also looking in areas with planned regeneration, where prices are starting to rise.' While there are general regional patterns of flip profitability, Walker believes it's more likely that a good hyper-local knowledge will help you find a suitable property. 'You need to understand which streets, which styles of homes, and which improvements genuinely add value in your patch. Forget national 'hotspots.' Success comes from knowing your area inside out and running the numbers with zero room for guesswork.' What types of houses are good for flipping? In terms of what makes a successful flip property, many of the age-old rules still hold true. 'Probate sales, long-held family homes or rentals that haven't been touched in decades are the sweet spot. Dated kitchens, pink bathrooms, swirly carpets, all perfect,' suggests Walker. Read more: What is pre-application planning and can you do it yourself? With the cost of renovations high, you're looking for properties that have good bones, are structurally sound and just need cosmetic modifications. With the age of first-time buyers increasing, larger, family homes are increasingly in demand and, therefore, have more flip potential. 'Investors looking to flip property should focus on three- or four-bedroom semi-detached houses. These homes tend to appeal to families and young professionals, increasing the likelihood of a quicker sale and a stronger return,' says Marshall-Roberts. 'Terraced houses and standard flats in residential blocks can also make good flip candidates.' In contrast, luxury homes with large stamp duty bills come with higher stakes attached. 'High-end homes or unusual properties are harder to flip quickly and carry more risk,' says Gretton. While flipping can be seen as a way of making a fast buck, Gretton flags that there are hidden benefits and that it has its place in the property market. 'It brings older or neglected homes back to life, creating more modern, liveable spaces that are ready for today's buyers or renters. It also helps maintain and support local property values especially in areas where tired housing stock might otherwise drag the market down.'

76% of UK Retailers Probing New Export Markets Due to Tariff Turbulence
Fashion firms across the globe are feeling the aftershocks of President Donald Trump's recent tariff announcements. In the United Kingdom, the majority of retailers say the trade policy shifts have shaken up their plans for the future. A study conducted by ESW and Retail Economics based on answers from 200 non-food U.K. retailers (many of which are focused on exports) revealed that the majority (76 percent) are now diversifying away from the United States as an end market. More from Sourcing Journal Trump Threatens EU With 35% Tariffs if Trade Bloc Forgoes $600B US Investment One in Five UK Consumers May Stop Shopping Online Over Cyberattacks EU Delays Duties on US, While India and China Negotiations are Snarled by Russia Conflict The U.S. represents the biggest non-European retail market for most exporters, and larger retailers have been 'radically re-drawing their global growth playbooks as protectionist trade policies upend decades-old export patterns.' This is less true for smaller retailers, 71 percent of which said they've been left without a discernible path forward by the shifts in the U.S.-U.K. trade relationship. Typically less resourced than their larger counterparts, small retailers will feel the impacts of America's new 10-percent baseline tariff deeply. That change is expected to increase average duties on non-food exports from 2.3 percent to a whopping 17.2 percent. That's a hard pill to swallow for any retailer, regardless of size. And if the tariffs increase beyond 22 percent in the future, more than half of all respondents said they would deem trade with the U.S. 'commercially unviable.' 'U.K. retailers are undergoing a seismic shift in their export strategies,' said Jon Sheard, vice president of Northern Europe at ESW. 'Retailers can no longer be overly reliant on a single trade corridor and are pivoting to new regions, including the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, where we are seeing exponential growth.' According to the groups' reporting, the export relationship with the Middle East and North Africa has blossomed in recent years, growing by 34 percent between 2021 and 2024. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) now represents to fastest-growing export market for U.K. retailers outside of the European Union, though non-EU countries in Western Europe have seen notable growth (15 percent), along with Asia-Pacific (6 percent). According to CEO of Retail Economics Richard Lim, 'Tariff volatility is reshaping the global retail landscape.' Lim believes retailers can no longer rely chiefly on the U.S. as an export market, as they have in the past. 'Instead, they're evaluating new trade routes and pivoting toward high-growth regions to diversify risk and capture new demand,' he said. 'Now is the time for exporters to plan and act. Future success will depend on the ability to adapt, localize, and seize emerging trade opportunities.' Retailers are quickly catching on to this new reality. The report showed that 77 percent view global brand building as a strategic imperative, and two-thirds are even willing to sacrifice some profit margin in favor of export growth. But there are significant challenges to overcome before these new international growth strategies can reach their full potential. In the near-term, the biggest hurdles include logistics costs, operational complexity and regulatory uncertainty. As they gear up for an evolution in the way that they export, many are looking for turnkey solutions that could help them handle logistics coordination, payments, taxes, customs, tariffs and fees, local marketing and positioning in front of new audiences. U.K. retailers believe they have a distinctive advantage that will give them a leg up, though: 40 percent said that 'Made in the U.K.' labeling and messaging carries a perception of premium quality because of the country's modernized safety and regulatory standards.
