Re: Clarendon homes price lock in 10Mar 08, 2022 10:26 am SusieG Hi there, We are looking at building the grande 57 with clarendon and have been advised that there will be a 10% price increase on Feb 21 so to secure our build via a deposit before this time. However Clarendon only lock in the price for 6 months now not 12 and due to us being self employed, we can only go for finance in August, at the 6 month mark. Clarendon are saying to extend the price lock in by 3 months they want an extra 28k.....just wondering if anyone else has had experience of this and weighing up if its worth paying for the extra 3 months as a safe guard against further price increases? Many thanks for your advice Sue 🦋😊 Hi SusieG I wonder if the contract provides a lawful mechanism for Clarenden to unilaterally increase the contract price. Over the past year, with material prices skyrocketing and a labour shortage, Builders have been unlawfully trying to unilaterally increase their contract price. Cheers John Get sound legal advice.

Cheers John Hi John I love reading your posts and insights. Just wondering if you have been involved in giving anyone advice on what to do when builders are increasing prices and if so how are the builders justifying this? I was always under the impression that these were lump sum D & C contracts?
