A couple who accidentally bought a 120-year-old derelict mansion in Dunoon instead of a flat in Glasgow have finally received the sign-off on their new home.
Cal Hunter and girlfriend Claire Segeren paid £10,000 for the wrong property after a lot numbers mix-up four years ago - but decided to keep it and renovate it themselves. Then 26-year-old Cal, from Hull, was tasked with putting a bid on a home in Glasgow city centre but accidentally bid on the wrong unit, leaving them with Jameswood Villa - an uninhabitable property in Dunoon.
The young couple appeared on BBC One Scotland show Accidental Renovators as they faced a daunting list of problems for the property, which had lain empty for more than 30 years. The foundations needed repaired, a new roof needed to be installed, masonry above a bay window had collapsed and all the timber works inside the 19th century building were rotten.
The couple ignored expert advice to demolish the house and decided to sustainably bring it back to life instead - despite never having renovated before and with just £10,000 in the bank. They decided to live in a caravan in the grounds while they undertook the first challenges, including clearing the huge amount of debris in the building and making the structure secure by raising the roof.
And now they have confirmed their house has finally been signed off by inspectors - after a four year renovation. Sharing the news on social media, they said: "The Inspectors have SIGNED US OFF!!! We can officially - legally - live in Jameswood and call her our home.
"We have had many moments of joy throughout this project, and likely an equal amount tears - but these have been my first tears of joy. It was such an overwhelming and exciting moment for us."

The 2023 Women’s World Cup in Sydney and Australia kicks off on Thursday, July 20, and this year’s tournament has the potential to be one of the most entertaining events in the game’s 32-year history. It’s the first time that 32 teams will compete for the world title, with more than half of the field as serious title contenders: most notably, the U.S who has the opportunity to three-peat, England off the back of a Euros 2022 win and Australia, whose striker Sam Kerr is one of the best players on the field and arguably the face of this year’s tournament. Eyes will also be on the U.S team since star player Megan Rapinoe announced she’s retiring later this year, making this the last major tournament she’s likely to ever play.
