Pensioner forced developers to build around home despite £770k offer in real-life Up

A stubborn 84-year-old woman forced developers to build a new mall around her tiny home after turning down a million dollar buy-out offer.
Edith Macefield refused to move from the 108-year-old farmhouse, despite pleas from desperate planners who wanted to bulldoze the property.

Unfortunately, Martin had to sell the property when he became unemployed during an economic "downturn", reports LadBible.
However, the pensioner gave him her blessing to sell before she died.
“She told me to hold out until I got my price. I sold it for $310,000 [£238,128.05]," he told Fox’s Strange Inheritance.
