Couple Stuck with Unsellable Home Due to Construction Mistake

For many Brits, climbing the property ladder is a big deal, particularly in these tough times. However, for one couple it went from a joyous event to a nightmare quite quickly.

They found out they couldn't get another mortgage as the building didn't go along with the rules and regulations for construction. The scary thing is that all 13 homes in the new-build estate in Bradford have the same issue, shown on BBC One's Rip Off Britain back in 2020. Adeel Azfal, 27, who lives with his partner and their two year old daughter Anya, bought their house for £175,000 in June 2016. "We've got a young family. My partner doesn't work so we are tied into what we thought would be our forever home," he shared.

The builders were meant to put a protective layer under the floors of each house, but the residents don't know if it was done right or even finished. Hamid Khan bought one of the properties for £180,000 in 2016. Gary Rycroft, an expert on new homes, says the homeowners should complain about their property lawyers. "The conveyancing solicitor on the face of it hasn't spotted various issues you would expect them to spot," he pointed out.
