A mother in Pudsey, Leeds says a neighbour illegally demolished his half of their semi-detached home, leaving her property with damage she describes as making it difficult or impossible to sell. Shivarna Mitra, 44, says she and her three-year-old son and elderly mother were living in the house when the work occurred.

According to the reporting, Mitra alleges the demolition resulted in visible structural and housing issues, including holes in walls and a leaking roof. She describes the situation as a personal and financial “nightmare,” saying her home became “unsellable.” The coverage focuses on her account of events and the impact on her family, without detailing the neighbour’s response or any confirmed findings from authorities.
