A disgruntled home owner in South Tyneside is seeking a £10,000 payout - claiming council chiefs crashed the value of his house by allowing a house of multiple occupation (HMO) next door.

Angry house owner seeks £10,000 payout over council home decision

Jimmy King outside his home in St Judes Terrace.

Jimmy King, 61, says £35,000 has been wiped off the estimated selling price of his end-of-terrace property in St Jude's Terrace, Laygate, South Shields, after South Tyneside Council allowed the neighbouring maisonette to become an HMO in April 2021.

The offshore worker has now started legal proceedings in the small claims court after what he says was an attempt at mediation was rejected by the council.

Mr King insists his health has suffered due to the ongoing dispute and he now suffers with permanent stress symptoms, a condition medically diagnosed.

The devaluation has been confirmed by a local estate agent after a visit in August.
