I got a call from my solicitor to say that they refute my claim and that they request an expert be appointed to adjudicate the dispute. They have given 3 people that I can pick from.
I would ask your solicitor to go back to the builders and confirm that the three experts have been approved by the CIF and the LSI - if not then you should say that you are unhappy with the independence of the suggested "experts" and wish to propose your own.
From my experience you have a choice - give up your fight now and live with the problem or take the builder on and get what you paid for.
I would emphasise getting this point raised by efm checked out. In my case, any 'plans' were for informational purposes'. Same again with the showhouse - it has no legal relevance to what you end up with.The one thing I would note is that you need to check if the specification and layout are actually covered under the contract or are they "non-binding" and "for information only".
money man said:Your solicitor will more than likely have to charge you more for carrying on with this process.
If he is contracted to do it (ie. if its in the plans and the plans are legally binding), he should be made do it.liosbourne said:Hi, money man is dead right. No one wants to be bullied by a builder but there is no way he is going to move that toilet for anyone. He should at least put in the sockets for you as a compromise.
