Family can't sell house after finding out they don't own corner of living room

A family has been left unable to sell their home after finding that a corner of the living room and part of the garden don't belong to them. Linda Hoffman, 73, has been trying to sell her home for two years but has been locked in a dispute instead.

Linda and her husband bought a section of land from their neighbours in 2000 with plans to build their own property, which they did in 2003. Then in March 2021 they found part of the land doesn't actually belong to them. The family is still struggling for answers over who actually owns the land, reports NottinghamshireLive.

Linda's son, Bryn said his mum started looking to move when his dad died in April 2020. He said: "A bungalow came up and it was stunning, perfect location and round the corner from me. We put the house on the market and got a buyer, and it was all going through.
