A high flying investment banker and her husband are suing a construction company for more than £3million - claiming their dream home was built so poorly it must be demolished.
Lisa Klaver, who used to advise the ultra-rich in Singapore, and her husband Tim are taking North Downs Construction to London’s High Court claiming their brand new house is so riddled with issues it is uninhabitable.
The builders had agreed to construct the couple’s sprawling property near Farnham, adjacent to an existing property, which was set to be knocked down once the other home was completed.
But the wealthy couple have accused the firm of negligence, finding 69 defects and claiming it has not been built to proper standards.
Problems in the home included issues with the timber cladding, the terrace, balcony, and lower ground floor roof, external walls, windows and doors, basement tanking, internal and external work, and structural steelwork.
