A couple have lost nearly £11,000 of savings in a spray foam insulation scam that left their house unsellable.
Fiona and Andre Barton, both 60, received a cold call in December 2022 urging them to look into their home insulation during the cost-of-living crisis.
The couple agreed to a free loft survey from the company, and when the surveyor arrived, he informed them that their home in Midlothian, Edinburgh would benefit from spray foam insulation.
The surveyor offered them a limited time discount if they signed up for the installation there and then - and they agreed to pay the £4,926 to have the substance installed.
