Consumers warned not to deal with Green Magic Homes

Minister for Fair Trading, Eleni Petinos, said Green Magic Homes is no longer able to advertise, contract for, or carry out any residential building work for which a licence is required in NSW and is now no longer lawfully able to contract to do residential building work above $5,000.

“Green Magic Homes was found to have contracted to undertake work without appropriate insurance,” she said.

“At this point in the investigation, it appears that funds from customers may have been used for personal expenses including travel, groceries, restaurants, liquor stores, gambling, and accommodation.

“The director of the company at the time it was licenced failed to disclose prior convictions for fraud-related offences when applying for a contractor licence in 2021.

“This serves as a warning to any operators attempting to rip off everyday people – you will be caught and met with the full consequences.”

Anyone in NSW who has had problems in their dealings with Green Magic Homes or has information about their operations is urged to contact NSW Fair Trading to lodge a complaint.

Consumers can check if a trader holds the appropriate licence by visiting NSW Fair Trading or by calling 13 32 20. Additionally, consumers should always check if a contractor holds the appropriate insurance.
