Wentworth Homes collapse leaves woman with huge losses and no dream home

Fiona Bond, who has a progressive auto immune illness, said she paid Greenbuild Group Pty Ltd/Wentworth Homes $371,000 in progressive payments to build a house in a new estate in Orange.

However, after five months it is far from completed.

"All I've got is a concrete slab and a timber frame. There is no roof on it," she said.

Ms Bond said she had no idea whether she would get any money back once the financial situation of the company, which was placed in voluntary liquidation on August 15, was established.

"I'm so upset, it's my whole life's savings," she said.

Ms Bond said she moved to Orange from Sydney about 10 months ago to be closer to her family.

"I had cash because I had sold my house in Sydney," she said.

Ms Bond said the building company's representative told her they would build her a house with features to suit her disabilities.

"I'm on a walking stick, I'm not in a wheelchair yet," she said.

"It's a progressive illness. [It included] the bars in the bathroom and all that."

Ms Bond said the company asked her for regular payments which she paid.

She said she was also asked to pay cash when they hit rocks in the construction process.

Ms Bond said she now realised she should not have kept paying when the work hadn't been done.

Ms Bond said her illness had made her confused.

"I went overseas for a month and when I came back nothing more had been done," she said.

Ms Bond said she had not spoken to anyone from the building company for some time.

Ms Bond said she became aware something was amiss when a sub-contractor told her she owed him more than $100,000 for work after he had been told by the builder to deal directly with her.

She said she had already paid the money to the builder for the work.

Ms Bond said she went to the builder's house to find out what was happening but he was not available.

The Central Western Daily has seen a copy of Ms Bond's payment schedule to the building company and has attempted to contact the builder.

Aaron Lucan, of solvency firm Worrells, has been appointed liquidator.

Mr Lucan is expected to soon provide creditors with a clearer understanding of the company's financial position.

"Within 10 business days after the day of my appointment I am required to send each creditor a summary of the affairs of the company," he said. Mr Lucan was appointed on August 15.

It is understood there are multiple home owners and sub-contractors from the Central West who are creditors.
