A COUPLE has told how their dream \u00a3440,000 home was ruined by floodwater flowing from a newbuild estate.<\/p>\n
Neil and Sarah Cranston say they\u2019ve lost out on hundreds of thousands of pounds since their home in Bishop's Stortford, Herts, is now unsellable.<\/p>\n
\n \n \n<\/p>\n
The Cranston's property backs onto land being developed for a newbuild estate, which will feature schools, shops and hundreds of houses.<\/p>\n
Chemical process operator Neil, 49, and midwife Sarah, 50, who have four children, had to temporarily move out due to the damage caused by the floods.<\/p>\n
They say damp is now a huge problem in their home and an estate agent told them it could be unsellable – adding to their stress.<\/p>\n
The couple want Countryside, the developer of St James' Park, to take responsibility and compensate the family for damage and distress caused.<\/p>\n
