Owning a house is a satisfying feeling. It's also one of those life accomplishments that tops nearly everyone¡¯s bucket list.?Whether you prefer a modernized abode or a sprawling suburban home, most of us dream to find a perfect fit for our family.?
However, one man's dream to own a dream home has turned into a disaster, after he was left with?half a house after a 'mistake' with the developer.?
Bishnu Aryal, from Nepal, saved up enough money for the house of his dreams, to splash a cool $700,000 AUD (Rs 4 crore) for the Sydney plot and the building.
Aryal moved to Australia from Nepal for a new life and saved diligently for a decade. He signed an agreement for the building with Zac Homes for $322,400 (Rs 1.85 crore), on top of a separate land purchase for $398,950 (Rs 2.2 crore) in the suburb of Edmondson Park in?Sydney's?southwest.??

However, he says that miscommunication with the builder, Zac Homes, has turned his dream into a nightmare.
The father-of-two now only has 'half the property' he had been hoping for -?leaving him to nearly faint when he finally saw the unusual property.
Speaking to?Nine News, Aryal said: "I called the supervisor and asked him what's going on, why is the house like this? And he said, 'It's a duplex, semi duplex, and I nearly fainted that day."
"Where's my house? I want the rest of my house. It's not a free-standing house, it's not a duplex, it's half a house. And it looks embarrassing," he added.?

Aryal admitted that his English isn't perfect, but he said he didn't sign up for half a house.?
