To build or not…that was the question

Key points

• Home construction delays have left owners facing financial strain and extended timelines. While structural work is complete, holiday breaks and tradie shortages have pushed the handover date to April 2027.
• The original October completion target now seems unlikely, with plastering and plumbing still pending. Rising interest rates compound the pressure, as monthly loan repayments consume $2400.
• The owners are now hoping for a quick sale of their current property to alleviate financial burdens.
