A homeowner has been unable to live in his flat for 12 years after he claims a minor water leak repair was botched by insurers.
Ian Gibbon, 52, had to abandon his home in Glasgow’s west end in 2010 when a blocked drain led to damage of the floor and walls of the 120-year-old basement flat.
Council worker Ian moved into hotels and then a rental property as work started on the flat but it stalled and the longer it went on, the worse the damage became.
