|
RECENTLY INSPECTED WAS A REFURBISHED FLAT IN WEST LONDON, BOUGHT BY A POLISH COUPLE WHO PUT THIER MONEY AND FAITH IN BUILDERS FROM THE HOME COUNTRY.
there were no contracts, no specification, no shedule...the builder offered a discount for cash (NO VAT)...and wanted 80% of the money up front...
alarm bells should have been ringing...but the builder talked the talk and our clients fell for the charm.
in the end ...the property is partially unfinished and poorly finished...client has handed all the money , builder wants more to finish the work
and cleint is not happy with the works that have been done
its unfortunatley not an uncommon story...so beware of cheap jobs and make sure you have a contract

I know they were foreign, but how many times are people told on consumer programmes and other media not to hand over large sums up front.
Why do we always feel the need to keep warning people to protect themselves FROM THEMSELVES and their own stupidity! _________________ For information buying a brand new home visit www.brand-newhomes.co.uk |
