Like many, last year (Oct 2020) I purchased a garden room to provide extra space at home. Naturally, the installation of that garden room was delayed due to COVID and in the interim there has been significant inflation on building materials.
Last week I received an email from the supplier communicating a 5% price increase and I'm curious as to whether this legitimate practice. From my perspective I received a quote, signed off on the purchase and paid a deposit.
I'm also concerned that there are subsequent increases prior to the installation date which is now estimated to be early November. From their perspective they probably have a large backlog to work through and can probably use this practice to find the top of the market for their product.
There are no terms and conditions associated with the quote as it essentially details the build, the cost, deposit to be paid.
