Affordable home scheme went from 'blessing' to 'disaster', buyers say

Key points

• Some buyers in Canberra's Affordable Home Purchase Scheme say they have been left stranded years after signing up. Several say the homes still have incomplete work, and they are in contract disputes with the builder.
• Buyers in Whitlam have refused to sign occupancy certificates, and some have received notices of breach of contract. The Suburban Land Agency says 170 of 181 participating households have moved in.
• Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the behaviour of one builder was unacceptable.
