KHLOE Kardashian & Kris Jenner’s new massive next-door mansions looked complete after their contractor “stole money & deeds” from them.
The mother-daughter duo previously claimed they were “CONNED by a builder” causing them to put their mansion-building plans on hold.

However, recent photos showed that the reality star’s Hidden Hills’ homes are almost ready to be moved into.
In overhead shots of the properties, exclusively obtained by The Sun, construction on the homes appeared in the final stages as landscapers have begun planting the surrounding grounds.
The mansions are a stones throw away from one another, boasting about 1.5 acres of land, according to Variety.
Both homes have land dug out at the back for a massive pool, which would eventually be the garden.
One of the houses has an eight-car garage, covered patios, a guesthouse, movie theater, gym, lounge and an office.
A few months back, it was revealed that Kris and Khloe were building the two mansions in Hidden Hills to be closer to sisters Kim and Kylie who resided there.
‘CONNED’
Plans, however, were abruptly halted when the contractor they had hired ran off with their money and the deeds to the plots.
The situation was discussed on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, as Khloe told her sister Kendall about the debacle.
While traveling to Lake Tahoe for one last family vacation on camera, Khloe told Kendall: “We don’t have houses currently.
“We ran a background check on him. He had a 35-page rap sheet. I told mom I was not comfortable using him. Mom wanted to still use him.
“We ended up firing him because he sucked and he was trying to steal from me and now he took our houses and they’ve been on a stand still.”
During a confessional interview, Khloe went on: “A contractor left with our deeds, a lot of our money, and we’re not allowed to go onto our properties.
“So we can’t even have a contractor take over while we’re trying to get our deeds back or close escrow.”

The Good American founder further claimed that they can’t take the contractor to court due to Covid-19 and said they would need to mediate things first.
Further complicating matters, the reality star pointed out she and her mom aren’t even able to “take him to court right now due to COVID.”
“It just f**king sucks,” she added.
Later in the episode, Kris could be heard on the phone talking to her lawyer and saying she’s “just so confused” by the situation.
“We’re not talking about chump change here. It’s gonna cost him a fortune to settle this,” she said angrily.
Khloe jumped in during another confessional and said: “My mom and I are so over it. Enough is enough.
“And now we’re gonna have to file a very strong lawsuit against this horrible human being because we either need our money back, or we need our f**cking houses.”
DREAM MANSIONS
Kris’ home is the larger of the two, boasting 16,000 square feet while Khloe’s is 10,000.
The two properties were once part of a single huge estate set over three acres of land and included a house of nearly 20,000sq ft.
The mansion was owned by construction magnate Ron Tutor – father of Million Dollar Listing star Tracy Tutor – and was once reportedly leased to Britney Spears.
Khloe sold her Calabasas mansion for $15.5million last November, while Kris sold her Hidden Hills home for $15 million earlier that year in April.
