Re: New apartment too small for a bed! Help?!?
Update: Brother had the surveyor measure exact size of appartment and compare with plans & contract size - & the main and the 2nd bedrooms are very slightly below the guidelines, while the 3rd bedroom, doesnt qualify at all as a bedroom at all according to the guidelines - says the surveyor. Brother is awaiting confirmation of this in writing and will then speak to solicitor.
Cheeky builders, had said previously, when brother & his wife put it to them that room wasnt right and that maybe they would compromise with moving radiator or refitting wardrobe, that in fact they had already been quite accomodating to them, as he had been "allowed" move his (refundable) €5,000 booking deposit from a more expensive appartment to this one. In actual fact, when he moved his refundable deposit to this flat, they actualy cut his 3 weeks "cooling off" period short, by the amount of time he had it on the first appartment! How's is that for "accomodating"?
As always, would be interested in any of your comments or observations - particularily on what next steps should be.
