Beware! Cowboy Builders Abroad

Cyprus (1x2)

Udgivelsesdato: Apr 24, 2014

Tom and Irene Owens bought a villa in Cyprus for around £150,000 and their son bought the plot next door, but when the couple moved into the property the site was incomplete, with no roads or mains electricity. Worse still, the builder had failed to construct any retaining walls to hold back the hillside now looming over the house and this - coupled with chronic damp problems and subsidence - meant the couple's retirement was turning into a nightmare. Gabrielle Blackman and her build team face an uphill struggle as they attempt to improve the situation, while Dominic Littlewood encounters more Brits on the island who have fallen foul of the same builder.
