A family say they could be "homeless by Christmas" after being served a court order to demolish their own home. Stephanie Rolfe and Stuart Macdonald have even been told to foot the estimated £60,000 bill to bulldoze the building - leaving them facing "financial ruin."
Following a four year saga, the family have now been given less than two months to "dismantle" the timber structure - which replaced a garage previously built on the same site. The couple, who have two young children, claim that they built the moveable home under caravan legislation.
"We had an honest held belief it was lawful", Stephanie and Stuart told Birmingham Live. Built in a quiet cul-de-sac in Solihull, Warwickshire, their home sits on a plinth, and has been rendered to fit in with nearby homes.
