Long story but here are basics:
Moved into house on December 1st 2007
Due to Christmas snag list dragged out a bit
Got Sky dish installed. Builder went nuts as house not ours yet as not signed for. Told us we couldn't get blinds, carpets etc until signed for. Explained not signed for as snag not completed. Spoke to our Solicitor. Compromise was that money paid to builders for house but contracts would not be signed until snag completed. This allowed us to get carpet etc
Snag still not completed to date! Solicitor sent stern (obviously not stern enough) letter to builder on April 28th. Met with builder that week to go through snag and all jobs listed agreed to be done. Told us it should be completed within 2 weeks.
One of the major issues was tiling in bathrooms that was done by site junior as professional tiler unavailable on the day! Builder agreed to re-tile at his expense and requested we give him our recipt for tiles which we did............that was at Aprils meeting.
2 weeks ago builder sent site worker over with lump hammer to knock tiles off wall. Site worker informed my partner his instructions were to remove some tiles only for replacing! This was done, shower taken off wall & bath unsealed. Bathrooms in bits. Nobody came back since.
Its the straw that broke the camels back...........have had enough at this stage....... the stress is too much after 9 months..........
Have meeting tomorrow with builder to discuss this ridiculous situation and want any advice on what I should say and demand i.e. what are my rights?
Also, house price has dropped 40k. As contracts not signed yet have I any comeback on this?
Thanks in advance
