A high-flying former Citibank executive is embroiled in a bitter legal battle with builders over her £3 million 'dream home', which she claims has been left riddled with defects.
The financier, who has not been named, alleges that the property in one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods was so badly botched that it has become uninhabitable.
Luxury Home Turned Nightmare
What was supposed to be a stunning showpiece residence has instead become a source of endless frustration, with the executive claiming the builders failed to deliver on their promises of quality craftsmanship.
Among the alleged defects are:
- Faulty electrical wiring posing safety hazards
- Substandard plumbing leading to leaks
- Poorly installed windows causing drafts
- Shoddy finishing throughout the property
Legal Battle Heats Up
The former banking executive is now seeking substantial damages through the courts, arguing that the builders' negligence has left her unable to enjoy the luxury home she invested in.
Property experts suggest this case highlights the risks involved in high-end property development, where expectations often clash with reality.
The builders involved have yet to publicly respond to the allegations, but the case is expected to shed light on standards in the UK's luxury construction sector.
