Notting Hill 'moth mansion' High Court fight lands property developer with £36.5m court bill

A high-end property developer sued by a super-rich heiress for selling her a luxury mansion “infested by millions of moths” has been handed a final court bill of over £36.5m after losing the case.

Iya Patarkatsishvili - the daughter of a Georgian multi-billionaire - bought Horbury Villa in Notting Hill with her husband in May 2019, having forked out £32.5m for the early Victorian pile, which boasts a pool and spa, gym, wine room, library and cinema, and also a “snoring room” specially kitted out to guarantee a peaceful night’s sleep.
