Rev Mike Hall returned to his Luton home from Wales in 2021 to find it had been sold for 131,000 .

The Land Registry accepted fault and put his name back on the title.

But when he returned in 2023 he found a family living there with a bogus rental contract.

A BBC reporter visited the home and spoke to a man and a woman with a young child.
