Furious residents who paid more than £300,000 on homes in a newbuild estate say their lives are a "nightmare" with the properties riddled with hundreds of faults. Homeowners living in Cotswold Vale near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warkwickshire, complain of "shoddy" building work with wonky windows, unlockable doors, mould, cracked walls and freezing rooms.
