Week 57

Last week it was more money to re-do a survey x weeks later just to confirm that indeed the builder has done nothing ... even though the builder has confirmed that he has done nothing.
In addition 7 invoices from the builder claiming for works (allegedly) done.

This week it is the turn of the lawyer to ask for more money as our contract covers only termination and not compensation or drafting a contract with the new builder - this is a nice 112% price hike.
And if course I still need to arrange a date with the Notar to update the Grundbuch - more costs.

On a positive note, met with the new builder - he will get a draft contract today and the plan is that he starts work within 2 weeks and move in date is the end of the year.

Also, the 'cancellation with cause' letter will be sent to my current builder together with a rejection of his invoice claims.

I fear it will end up in court ... but I am determined to seek compensation.

I am going to end up bankrupt with a very expensive mortgage made up of 50% in fees alone with little chance of a sale recouping my costs or of covering the mortgage from renting it out.
