Richard<\/a> Nicholls, 38, an estate agent and salesman,\u00a0had no experience in construction when he started taking on the building work.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0left his victims – many of whom were in south – with unfinished extensions and carried out shoddy home improvement work before asking them to pick up the bill.<\/p>\n

Nicholls, eN<\/a> from Shropshire,\u00a0blew \u00a352,000 of the \u00a31.1million scammed from victims on his gambling habit, Southwark Council said.<\/p>\n

He also took money in advance of carrying out the work, services and materials that he never bought or paid for, the authority said.<\/p>\n
