And, Homes From Hell meets the couple who are being forced to demolish their luxury Cypriot holiday home after a court ruling.

David and Linda Orams bought their home in Northern Cyprus in 2002 from a Turkish-Cypriot, but, just a year after moving in they received a court summons from a Greek-Cypriot living in the south of the island who claimed the land the house was built on was his, and he wanted it back.

The Greek-Cypriots fled Northern Cyprus in 1974, when the Turks invaded, but the claimant said the piece of land was still his.

After several court hearings in Cyprus and England, the couple have now been ordered to tear the house down and return the land to the original owner. They have also been asked to pay £300 a month rent for the last seven years they have lived there.

Homes From Hell contacted the owner of the land who said that people buying property in Northern Cyprus should understand that it is like buying goods from the back of a lorry, because they might belong to someone else.

Linda says: “We’re not going to let it ruin our lives. Maybe we’re in shock, I don’t know, but we’ll have to wait and see how we feel when it’s all over.”

I expect they'll feel a lot poorer; and deservedly so.

For those who can't view this. It's part of a compendium of stories. Looks like our friends the Tresspassing Orams will be on last.

Are you sure Miss Piggy's on? She wasn't mentioned in the introduction. I'd have thought she'd have been the star act.

ooh it's about to start... Linda looks a bit older and slimmer than wen we saw her earlier in the year. Hi Linda it's the long-curly haired cy-looking gent you bumped in to in the Strand.
