Iya Patarkatsishvili and Dr. Yevhen Hunyak, who purchased a luxury mansion in Notting Hill, London, faced a severe moth infestation soon after moving in. They claimed misrepresentation by the seller, leading to a legal battle that resulted in the court ordering the seller, William Woodward-Fisher, to reimburse the couple for the purchase price and additional damages for the costs incurred to address the moth problem. Their lawyer, Chris Webber, emphasized that the case might deter property developers from concealing defects to ensure transparency in real estate transactions.
"The court ruled in favor of Iya Patarkatsishvili and Dr. Yevhen Hunyak, ordering the seller to reimburse them and pay damages due to the moth infestation."
"Chris Webber noted that this case may act as a cautionary tale for property developers who could attempt to hide significant property defects from buyers."
