A woman returned from her holiday to discover her new home had been gutted by contractors due to a council error.
Claire Walton was one of many residents in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent whose homes had been compulsorily purchased by the council and earmarked for demolition.
She agreed to buy 40 Ludlow Street but returned to find it had been gutted after contractors got the right house number but the wrong street.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council has apologised blaming a clerical error.
