Fire destroys uninsured £200,000 home just before family was due to move in

A family are devastated after a fire destroyed the uninsured dream home they spent £200k and three years renovating - weeks before they were due to move in. Sabrina, 34, and Peter Chadwick 47 were weeks away from moving into their renovated bungalow before it went up in flames.

The mum-of-five noticed smoke coming from the laundry room when she was getting her daughters uniform out the tumble dryer on 8 March. Fortunately, she got her children to safety, but flames ravaged through the family home.
