HARRY and Bev Warren have never faced the prospect of being homeless in their lives.

On Wednesday, while driving from their former home in Gloucester to Nowra to check on their new Beechwood home’s progress, they picked up a newspaper and

their lives were turned upside-down.

“I don’t believe what’s happening here,” Mrs Warren said.

She said they had a couple of months before they must move out of the house they had just sold.

“We’re going to have to put everything in storage, our dogs will have to go to a kennel.

“The rental situation is impossible. I don’t know where we’re going to live and we just can’t afford to be paying rent and storage.

“We won’t have any money left to finish the house,” she said.

The couple built a Beechwood house in Gloucester three years ago.

They said they were so happy with it that when they decided to move closer to family and the coast, they used the company again.

Their house, in Twin Waters estate at South Nowra, is framed up but has no roof or solid walls. It was supposed to be finished by July 21.

But on Wednesday all builders on the site and surrounding lots were told to pack up for a week or two.

Mr Warren said he tried to pay his electrician $3000 but he wouldn’t accept the money.

“He said he wouldn’t take our money because he didn’t know if Beechwood was going to pay him, or even keep on building,” Mr Warren said.

“We just want answers,” he said.
