Neighbours have described how their lives are being blighted by fires and vandalism at an abandoned home on their street. The house, on Horsham Drive in Top Valley, Nottingham, was subject to an enforced sale decision by Nottingham City Council in 2021 after the homeowner repeatedly missed payments and accrued a large amount of debt.
But a year later the property has still not been sold, with neighbours saying it remains a magnet for anti-social behaviour. They say there's been constant issues for others living on the street since the property became vacant in 2009, with those living nearby citing pest problems, racist graffiti on the walls, and fires - the most recent being set on Friday, December 9.
Those living near the abandoned home were frustrated that nothing had been done with the problem property. Zoe Mason, 43, who works for the NHS and lives next to the "house of horrors", was disappointed the property had not been dealt with.
