When Diane and Mark approached the housing developer, Applethwaite Homes, for compensation, bosses allegedly blamed them for the ordeal - saying the mould was a result of the house lying unoccupied for so long.
Now, after costly repairs, a year’s worth of alternative rent and an unsuccessful battle with the housing developer, Diane said the couple had been left in financial ruin.
I bought my dream newbuild home but couldn’t move in for YEAR after horror discovery…now I’m being blamed & £20k in debt A DEVASTATED couple say their newbuild home dream has become a nightmare after they made a horrific discovery.
“I got a response basically saying ‘it’s your own fault, it’s because you didn’t move into the house that this has happened,’” Diane said.
After failed efforts to claw back some of their cash from Applethwaite Homes, Diane and Mark filed a claim with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).
