Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone might know if a change of owners in a company means that the work done by the previous owner does not need to be guaranteed/warrantied anymore?
This is what I'm getting from the company.
Cheers

I asked if the previous owner was still in the fencing business and he said he didn't believe so. There goes my chance of getting anything out of it! What a waste of $$$. The side gate and fence was hired separate from the builder so don't think builders insurance applies. Re: Change of Owners - No responsibility for warranty? 13Feb 10, 2011 6:00 am the_milesy There is a chance that the old owners still own the old company. Thats what happened in the couple of companies I worked for when they where sold. They just sold off the trading name & customers.

I really can't see you getting a call from the old owner offering free service .. I think you'll need to track him down yourself.

Was he a registered contractor of any sort? Do you have anything in writing? Even a receipt / invoice? If so, then its his responsibility. Either he sold the responsibilities when he sold the business (unlikely and doens't sound like it) or he has to fix it / pay for it to be fixed. If you have something in writing give small claims a buzz and see what they say. Sometimes just the threat of legal action will kick someone into gear. Its often cheaper for them to just fix it rather than fight it. At the same time, is it cheaper for you to just fix it, rather then buggerising around? I know it might not be your responsibility, but $50 and an hour of digging and its done, well i know what I would do.
