Julia Somerville, Gloria Hunniford and the team hear from residents of a block of flats in Hertfordshire who say they were left shocked when the annual ground rent on their leasehold flats shot up from £25 to £1,800, leaving one 90-year-old with a £17,000 bill he says he just couldn’t pay. Plus the online marketplace being abused by scammers, leaving a mum and daughter scrambling to recover more than £400. And will new changes to microchipping rules lead to more owners being reunited with lost pets?
