Folks,
Can someone help me out here with shared experience.
A little history:
New house purchase in an estate, builder says get engineer in as house is ready for snag. Engineer arrives but theres no cold water storage tank, however he does snaglist and says more may be added when checked after water is connected.
I checked the house out a few days later, still no cold water storage and some paid for extras not installed. Snag list grew and builder whinged.
Engineer called back for 'final' snag. About half items were completed. Another visit was scheduled (at my further expense) for Yesterday (thursday) but my engineer had to cry off and will revisit on wednesday next.
Builder says this is unacceptable and that she will be instructing their solicitor to force the closure.
Outstanding items are mostly not serious but there are ~80 of them.
Is the builder able to force closure? I'm waiting on my solictor to respond but would like to know if it's sabre rattling or what.
Many thanks,
N.
