Couple must demolish dream villa, rules court

A BRITISH couple face having to demolish their holiday home in northern Cyprus after the Court of Appeal ruled yesterday that orders from a Nicosia court must be enforced.

David and Linda Orams from Hove, Sussex, spent their life’s savings on their dream villa and pool after buying land in the Turkish part of the divided island in 2002.

But the original owner of the land, who fled to the south when Turkey invaded in 1974, took court action against the couple.
