She said a dispute with their builder had delayed their home's final inspection approval by close to a year and pushed them to the brink of financial ruin. But Cha put the company into voluntary liquidation, leaving Law feeling she has little hope of ever seeing the cash owed her. At first the house build went well, with the couple enjoying a great working relationship with Cha. But towards the project's end in early 2020, after most of the home had been built, issues arose with the concreting job on the driveway, Law alleged. That had left the home's final building inspection still incomplete almost one year later, while rubbish remained scattered through the yard and decking and a retaining wall also remained unfinished.
