Renovations at Neighbors Ticked Celeb Couple Off

[flip_it_fast]

I just read that celebrity couple Charles Saatchi and Nigella Lawson have put their home up for sale in London because of neighbors doing renovations.

This week, it emerged that the owners of the property next door to Saatchi and Lawson's Eaton Square home have put in an application for a huge amount of renovation work, including a basement extension under the garden. The work would also involve removing interior walls and parts of the back wall.

Scaffolding at the rear of their stucco house annoyed Saatchi so much that, after his appeal for it to be taken down had fallen on deaf ears, he hired his own workmen to remove it.
He was accused of causing £50,000 worth of damage to Italian marble tiles. The police came round to investigate but went away after deciding that it was a civil matter.

So now they have just decided to sell their home and move. They expect to get somewhere around £36 million ($76 million) for the house.

I know that home renovations and all of the noise can be annoying but it sounds as though they are being a bit petty here. Those renovations not only benefit the neighbor but would add value to their house as well.
