Cumbria's a big place Clive taking in a vast stretch of possibilities from run down areas of Workington right up to speculative second homes or holiday lets on the shores of lake Windermere. The introduction of external money hasn't always been welcomed in these areas of course as it's helped drive a property escalator which excludes locals (usually young people) and forces them to move away.

I tend to think new build can be treated differently however, as the bigger culprit tends to be rennovations of lower medium stock into luxury which is then taken up by some Manchester based professional who turns up at weekends. Devon is another county that suffers from this, and the Yorkshire Dales are coming under pressure now
