Episode Details

Edinburgh’s Breadalbane Street residents are being urgently asked to pack up and temporarily relocate after a fire sparked by a mattress too close to underfloor heating in March 2024. Builder Persimmon Homes, footing the bill, calls it a “precautionary safety measure,” with a July 2024 deadline. Amid the Fringe Festival’s housing crunch, they’re offering hotel stays or similar long-term rentals — while ICAB helps match needs, including pets and home offices. Persimmon is also funding safety upgrades and hosting Q&As to ease the transition. Residents brace for disruption, hoping the fixes will make their homes safe for good.
