Hi all
My boyfriend and I have bought a new build in an estate and the site foreman has told us to organise our snag list now. However, the electricity, gas and water are not yet hooked up and the foreman has said that his boss will not have any of these hooked up until the snag list is complete and all final monies are transferred over to him.
Now, I have already contacted an engineer and mentioned to him about these things not being hooked up yet and, as I expected, he said that they should definitely be sorted before he does the snag list. I mentioned this fact to the foreman and he said that that's how his boss does things and there is no way he will hook anything up until he has gotten his money. I got the number of the boss off the foreman but I was just wondering if anyone else was in this predicament at any stage and basically tell me how far can I push the builder on this one?
Thanks...
