g4fne · 2008-08-06 16:17:18

Hi Folks. I'm after a little advice .. i've had job quoted at £5000 & the builder comes highly recommended by next door neighbour. I've had the quote in writing but when phoned to accept quote he wanted £1500 up front deposit before starting ..... Is this normal practice or do i need to be wary ??

my builder wants me to pay in stages.

25% up front then at each finished level of the build then the last 25% when i'm happy.

cant grumble at that. they have to live as well.
