Hi Stu
Thank you for replying.
1. contract was done over email so not hand signed but is on company letterhead and was done by main builder.
2. Contract is in the dissolved company name.
3. Contract stats payment terms are 20% deposit plus VAT to secure start date paid to Biggins Renovations, followed by 10 weekly payments of 7% to our non VAT registered contractor and 10 % on completion with a lifelong guarantee on construction and 6 year guarantee on everything else.
4. Yes one was my main builder the other was helping the main builder project manage their builds.
5. No clauses.
6. Initially £101,920, then revised which was agreed revision whilst he was alive.
7. Yes that’s correct, it’s ironic that the extra costs quoted by sonin-law was around the amount I paid for the deposit.
8. Yes I did ask, no it hadn’t been used for my build, the son-in-laws said they had no access to his bank account and that I his wife was refusing to discuss the situation, they later told me that they found out he was in a huge amount of debt.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
