I was hoping to get advice on this. Basically we sent our closing cheque to the builders solicitors yesterday and were hoping to get the keys today but the builder is refusing to hand them over. We got some extra work done on the house which totalled about €1,000 but it was terrible workmanship and we told the builder this ages ago. We are not going to pay them for this work as we are going to have to get somebody else in to rectify the job at our own expense. Now the builder won't hand over the keys even though he has been paid in total for the house just not the extras. Can he legally do this?
Also if we pay the money just so we can get the keys could we then persue them through the small claims court to get it back?
