A WOMAN who went through an 11-year boundary dispute with a neighbour is set to lose her home when it is sold at auction to cover her adversary's legal costs.
In 1999, Milica Markos took her neighbour Alan Goodfellow to court after her knocked down her fence and built a concrete drive on her land.
Although Mr Goodfellow's actions were ruled illegal, Mrs Markos was ordered to pay his court costs of £10,000.
Following her repeated failure to pay up, the house will now be sold at auction on May 26, despite Mrs Markos still living in the four-bedroom property in Glenbervie Drive, Leigh.
