I renovated a flat without written quotes

Shared by Anonymous · 5,410 views

What happened

Everything was agreed verbally with a builder recommended by a neighbour. The final invoice was 70% above what we discussed and I had nothing in writing to argue with.

What it cost me

€21,000

Time lost

7 months

Emotional cost

Furious

What I learned

Get every quote in writing, itemised, before anyone touches a wall. A recommendation is not a contract.
