Inside Little Mix’s Leigh Anne Pinnock’s secret property empire as she launches house flipping firm with Andre Gray
LITTLE Mix star Leigh Anne-Pinnock is reaping the rewards of flipping houses as well as records these days.
She and footballer fiancé Andre Gray made a tidy profit when they sold their home for £4.95million - making them £200,000 on the £4.75million they paid for it in 2018.
And she’s helping the Watford star add to their fortune with a Grand Designs-style house makeover firm.
The pair are just in the process of turning a home into four flats that will be ready for sale later this year.
The striker set up a company called G&A Organisations Ltd with a pal which they are using to do up houses to sell on for a healthy profit.
And they’ve already turned a tired-looking red-brick semi into a modern home worthy of a mention on Kevin McCloud’s Channel 4 telly make-over show.

The firm has also taken off the dated pebble-dashed exterior and covered the red brick front with a clean, rendered finish.
And the pair know a thing or two about shifting houses quickly.
They flogged their £4.95 million mansion in Surrey just days after it went on the market in January last year
The plush pad was listed for sale on 13 January with the estate agent predicting: "This will be sold in January I am sure, there is nothing like it at this price range in such a prestigious location.”
And the home was listed as being “under offer” soon after.
Agents had strictly vetted people wishing to view the pad to root out possible fans posing as buyers just so they could have a nose around the pad.
All interested parties had to provide details of their current home and prove they could afford the house.
The singer and Andre put the place on the market after losing a fight to build an underground pool.
They wanted to create a subterranean leisure complex with a swimming pool, gym, sauna and jacuzzi.

But local councillors sunk the ambitious project so they placed the six-bedroom home up for sale.
