A couple's joy at getting the keys to their new home was quickly overshadowed by the discovery of extensive defects.

A couple who described the moment of getting the keys to their first home as feeling like a dream come true say that excitement was short-lived after they discovered around 150 faults with the property.
The scale of the issues uncovered has raised questions about the standard of the build and the inspection process the home went through before completion, though specific details of the individual faults were not disclosed.
Cases like this highlight broader concerns among new homebuyers about quality control in residential construction, particularly for buyers purchasing newly built properties who may have limited recourse once defects are identified after moving in.
It remains unclear what steps, if any, the couple has taken to have the issues resolved by the builder or developer, or what response the case has drawn from industry regulators.
