In early 2017, Eden Brae took a deposit of 5% and signed a building contract with detailed plan in it. The building plan in contract had all easements in it.
In August 2017, Eden Brae said they cannot built that house as in the plan as it did not follow council's regulations.
Initially, they blamed the council and easements and finally they agreed that it is their planning team's mistake who overlooked the council's regulation.
Now Eden Brae offered a much compromised plan by deleting all eaves on one side of the house and reducing the width of the house.
They took the deposit by showing a beautiful house plan and now they are trying to build a skinny ugly house because of their fault.
I did not like the new ugly plan.
Having good plan in the contract and changing it later - is it a breach of contract by builder? I feel either they are incompetent or intentionally misleading me or both?
As it is entirely builders (Eden Brae's) fault, will I get my deposit back and compensation for distress & damage caused by them?
Any advice is welcome.
