Buyer's headache after finding second building report that shows house needs work

Bec thought she was living the dream when the Wizard of Oz fan bought a three-bedroom home with her partner on Kansas Avenue in Geelong earlier this year.

But Bec soon found a dirty secret beneath her floor boards which has thrown up a buyer beware predicament.

"We're going to the Emerald City with Dorothy and Toto and having a great life together, but it's literally been up the garden path," Bec told A Current Affair.

Bec based her purchase of the $788,000 three-bedder on what she thought was a building report that stated the home was in a serviceable condition.

But after she moved in, Bec discovered another building report, completed three months earlier, that showed her house was sinking and needed restumping.

The quote to fix the water issue and restump the house is nearly $100,000.

A Current Affair embarked on a journey down a winding yellow brick road to help Bec work out why a pot of gold wasn't waiting at the end of her rainbow.
