Georgian Heiress Sues for £36 Million Over Moth-Infested London Mansion

Iya Patarkatsishvili and her husband allege fraudulent misrepresentation by the seller of their Notting Hill home.

The couple purchased the Victorian mansion in 2019 for £32.5 million, only to discover a severe moth infestation.
They claim the moths, nesting in wool insulation, have caused extensive damage to clothing and household items.
The lawsuit demands the seller, William Woodward-Fisher, buy back the property and pay additional compensation.
Woodward-Fisher denies the claims, arguing he disclosed all known issues and that moths do not legally qualify as vermin.
The case hinges on whether moths should have been reported as vermin during pre-sale inquiries.
