The owner of a £3 million Georgian mansion has claimed low-flying planes landing at Heathrow Airport are damaging his manor house.
Daljit Bhail, 54, says the planes are “extremely dangerous” for his 28-room Grade II-listed home in Hounslow, west London, which he rents out on AirBnb.
The 18th-century property sits next to Heathrow’s south runway, and Mr Bhail claims it has been damaged by large gusts of wind. He also believes it has been damaged by ice and frozen sewage from onboard toilets that has fallen from the planes, a claim the airport denies.
“It’s just madness how they treat a listed building, and the planes wake me and guests up at 3am,” the property investor said.
When did you buy that house?
Mr Bhail alleges that low-flying aircraft have caused “vortex damage” to the roof of the mansion, which he bought for £600,000 in 2000.
Ah, so 60 years after the airport started then. Bugger off.
That it’s right by the runway is why it was only £600k…..
