hi, we were going to do a home renovation late last year with one of the loacl builders (who is also our next door neighbour). we received the contracts and before signing them, we decided not to do the extension, as we didnt think it was worth the money.
We let the builder know straight away and gave them back the x 3 copies of UNSIGNED contracts they had given to us. We have just received a Bill from the builder for quite a large sum. i have been told that because we had not signed the contracts, therefore we are not liable for any fees relating to the extension. and because the contracts were returned to the builder we dont hold any information on the contract.
I have contacted Master Builder Association of Victoria, unfortunately they have not been very helpful.
does anybody know if we should have to pay this large invoice, for something that never took place and was unsigned.
Thanks
