A couple have complained that waking up to a Banksy artwork on the side of their property has cost them £400,000.
Gert and Gerry Coutts, who live in Enfield, north London, were renting the Suffolk property out when tenants called them in August 2021 to say scaffolding had suddenly appeared.
Mr Coutts and his wife thought it was the council fixing a chimney, only for the rigging to disappear the next day - with the piece of artwork, later verified to be a Banksy, in its place.
The artwork was comprised of a 14-foot seagull mural on the wall of the Lowestoft house, with a skip placed next to the house filled with insulation to look like a tray of chips.
It attracted global attention and soon the property was being visited by hundreds of tourists a day.
