Dua Lipa is still waiting to move into her dream London home, even though she bought it six years ago.
The singer is looking after huge renovation work, which means the house will not be ready until 2027.
Reports say Dua and her husband, Callum Turner, have spent years planning major changes to the property.
The project includes building a large basement with a swimming pool, a music studio and a private cinema.
The renovation is expected to cost around £3 million.
The work has taken much longer than expected because getting permission was a slow process.
Dua’s team first applied in 2021, but construction only started in 2024 after waiting three years for approval.
The project, however, has not been easy. Local groups raised concerns about losing green space, protecting old trees and possible flooding in the area.
Because of this, builders had to work very carefully and around 20 workers have been on site for more than a year, digging some metres underground while making sure the nearby historic trees are not damaged.
Dua’s team has also promised to keep noise and dust to a minimum and said they are “committed to minimising disruption to local residents and businesses during the construction works.”
Design expert Leigh Ann Raines said that projects like this naturally take longer than usual because of how complicated they are.
“She could be investing £3 million to make this a home that suits her needs,” Raines said.
She added, “This takes time. Rome wasn’t built in a day!”
