Last year, Aoife from Sutton and her wife Mel from New Zealand bought themselves a three bed semi in Baldoyle north Dublin - a tiny house in a spectacular bayside location.

In 2014, they bought the place for just half of its former asking price and moved in with their two year old son Daniel. But what seemed like their dream home soon turned out to be anything but.
