Hi All,
On off house under construction at present.
The plasterers are nearly finished, so second fix plumbing and electrics are due to start soon.
We had a break-in last week. A brick thrown through our patio sliding door.
Builders Generator & trans taken. (not much to do with me really) so I'm not too upset.
I rang the builder and he said he'd take care of the door. Still don't know who's going to fit the bill for it yet..
His words were "A door is fine but if they come back when the ware/rads are in then none of us will be happy"...
This comment has worried me a bit.
I was always under the assumption that the builder fits the bill if stuff goes missing before keys are handed over.
Herself rang the solicitor to see who fits the bill if this happens down the line.
She got an answer there and then from his junior (I think it's yourself).
I'm going to get a more concrete answer from the solicitor but he's out of the office for a few days.
Is there a general rule of thumb that the builder is resonsible until keys are handed over ?
Or has anyone been in this situation before - what was the outcome ?
Thanks,
Wolverine.
