Residents in new build flats are complaining their homes are unbearably hot as they struggle with 35C temperatures while the UK battles its fourth heatwave.

Sweltering conditions in high rises across London last year prompted residents of Leaside Lock, in east London, to place desperate signs in their windows reading 'DO NOT BUY THESE FLATS. TOO HOT'.

And the problem only seems to have got worse.

Homeowners living in new build flats in Tower Hamlets have described the conditions as 'unbearable' while at a block of flats in nearby Three Waters, residents have recorded temperatures reaching almost 30C.

Sandra Monteiro, 41, told The Guardian that temperatures inside her 11th-floor home have not gone below 27C for the past two months.
