I know I have no other options but how do you just bite your tongue and grin and bare it????
I'm not a patient man!!!
Also did anyone refuse to pay an invoice. We were given an invoice for the brick stage but as far as we are concerned the bricks aren't finished. Window sill and alfresco piering not done.
Buddy,
I really feel for you. We are going through something similar and its so stressful.
This is a big problem with the sausage factory housing industry. They simply cut costs and do not care that you are spending your life savings with them.
Generally you cant with hold an invoice, but it really depends on your contract.
What you can do with the help of a construction lawyer is issue them a breach of contract notice and give them 10 days to rectify which puts the wind up them.
I am going through that process now
cheers
Simon
