Not really, just that I've been told it before and got stung so always spell it out to people now! Maybe it's my paranoia but I ALWAYS clarify it 'cos I don't believe contractors, etc always use the term 'including' properly!
If they're playing with words you could take including to mean after the fee and inclusive to mean already added. I completely see where you're coming from, it's ugly.0 -
Are you in the 14 day cooling off period? That might be your..
It only came apparent when Memorandum of sale letter came through. So far I have politely raised it before completion suggesting it was miscommunication. Their reply was to remind me (also politely) i have signed a contract; that they've never had fees without VAT and have done it so many times it's automatic.
I can't rely on the verbal I wanted to see if anyone can confirm that they need to write down the vat inclusive price not a small font '+va't added after it in the contract.0 -
Why did you sign the contract if the amount was different to what you expected?0
