我和建筑商一起参观后买了一套四床的房子。我详细说明了我需要做什么，以获得成本的想法，因为这将告知我的报价。他给了我3万英镑的报价，用于整栋房子的底层扩建和翻新。楼上需要做的主要工作是抹灰和重新粉刷，在主卧室增加一间套间，把开关和插座从奶油色换成银色。一层的扩建部分延伸出厨房和起居区域，并划分出一个分隔空间，为孩子们提供游戏室。我想在楼下铺设地暖，在厨房铺设木地板和瓷砖，他说他会这么做。在把工作交给他之后，他要求1万英镑来购买材料，并开始准备房子，我支付了所需的工作。工程开始后，他提到在扩建期间，他没有向我收取支撑房屋结构的梁柱的费用，并在不同的时间间隔不断地向我要钱。我最终为这份工作支付了5.8万英镑，不包括他带我去雷恩厨房买的厨房。这款花了将近9000英镑(打了大约65%的大折扣)。 Within 2 weeks of moving in, the kitchen started breaking down.We are in October, 35% of the work is still yet to be done, there is no floor heating, he says its not possible with the type of wooden flooring he put in, and the tiles in the kitchen. The underfloor heating that was in part of the house was ripped off. The switches have not been changed, the painting is not done professionally, streaks everywhere, old switches and sockets have paints all over them, plastering was not done properly, ridges all over the walls and ceilings. Shelves not put up, bathroom has no toilet paper holder or towel rail, just sink, shower cubicle and toilet and many more. The builder says he has no money and insists he has completed the job. I have gotten to find out he is a cowboy and a lawyer by profession. I was pregnant, due in march 2017 and have a toddler under 2 years. I needed this work completed before i moved in because of the children as i didn't want them exposed dust, paint smells and other things on a building site. The builder said the work would take 10-12 weeks to finish and the house completed in January 2017. before completion, we had applied for extension permission from the council, sorted out architectural work so that upon completion and receiving the keys, the work would start immediately. I had to extend my rent twice and in June the landlord had another tenant and couldn't further extend my rent and i had to move into my house as a building site, my children have constant catarrh. Is there anything I can do to recover some money to get the rest of my work done by someone else? unfortunately i don't have a written contract with him as we had a lot of meetings and everything was agreed verbally but i have evidence of all the monies being transferred to his business account
