Paid for flooring of a new build house, but now the sale might fall through.

When discussing the flooring, the sales executive told us to contact them once an exchange date had been agreed, and they would then install the flooring, ready for moving.
The problem here is that you have basically paid for an upgrade for flooring in a house that is not yours yet. You don't own that flooring as the £2500 is just the extra amount for nicer flooring.[Deleted User] said:
Along the process, we paid £2500 to upgrade the flooring, which was installed two weeks ago. I spoke to the sales person, about what would happen with this, and he said he wasn't sure, but will check on this.
Your only comeback is what the contract says about the exchange date and delays. e.g. you're not pulling out of the sale, you still want to purchase it, but are just not able to proceed yet.
Most builders write in a clause about exchange must be within 2 months of the deposit being paid or similar.
Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0
