Man who bought home on 'UK's most dangerous street' for £5,000 says it's now worth £1m

A man with a house on a London street once dubbed 'Britain's most dangerous' says rising prices mean it is now worth £1million - after he bought it for just £5,000 in 1970.

After moving to the UK from Cyprus, Hasan Rezvan, 75, wanted to buy a house on Coldharbour Lane near Brixton for £7,000.
