The Nicheliving nightmare continues for one of its former customers.

There are calls for the WA state government to stump up more money in support a year on from its deal with the builder, which no longer exists.

Kathy Ellis is among those left in the lurch as mould grows in her ceiling and water gushes from it.

Five days after moving into her Perth property, hopes she was finally in her dream home went down the drain.

Every time she turns on a tap upstairs, water falls from the ceiling into strategically placed buckets downstairs.

Ellis says she can’t get hold of the builder’s plumber.

“The assessor that came out, his concern is, the weight of it is going to actually make the ceiling come down,” she said.

“And it was him that discovered that in the ceiling, there’s communications PVC piping, instead of plumbing piping.

“He laughed, he said ‘this has got to be a joke?’. I said, ‘No, it was built by Nicheliving so –’ and he goes, ‘Oh okay’.”

The nightmare in Canning Vale doesn’t end there, with mould growing in multiple rooms.

“The stress of all that, I can’t get to sleep and then I’m waking up at 4 o’clock every morning going ‘oh my god, I can hear dripping’.”

Nicheliving left hundreds of Perth customers with unfinished homes when the construction company collapsed.

The WA state government was forced into a $40 million bailout in October last year.

Ellis is now fighting to have this $100,000 debacle covered, with the building regulator now investigating her case.

“The government should be considering an ex-gratia payment to assist her because of the failure of state government and the regulators to properly pursue Nicheliving in the first place,” WA Nationals leader Shane Love told 9News.

While the directors of Nicheliving are now banned from building in Western Australia, that hasn’t stopped them becoming property developers and rebranding as Australian Property Alliance.
