Building a Home Renovating Home Repair

Home Renovation Contract Template Needed

2 years ago

Hello everybody.

I would like to ask if anyone has a link to a comprehensive and detailed contract for a home renovation project so I can amend / add details if needed and then hand it over to the builder.

Thanks

Somewhere online they are available. I know this because I had a customer who printed one off for our company to sign. I promptly told her if anyone was signing a contract it should be her with a contract supplied by me. After all I am the contractor. I never signed it and presume she went elsewhere or never had the work carried out.

Rather a cheeky thing to do IMO but I guess it depends on what exactly is in that contract.

Hi Allison Oz, assuming UK tax law applies to your situation I would say it is definitely worth looking into. It's not a situation I've come across before where you are retrospectively claiming back the VAT. However it may be that you first accumulate the evidence it was vacant for 2 years and then write to the builder requesting that he reissue the invoices and a refund. Your builder will need to adjust his VAT returns and possibly make a disclosure to HMRC. I would speak to the builder and ask him to speak to his accountant. You might find the following document useful. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-70045-how-to-correct-vat-errors-and-make-adjustments-or-claims/vat-notice-70045-how-to-correct-vat-errors-and-make-adjustments-or-claims

Oh me too I wish! If only I wasn't downsizing with plans to decorate what I've potentially (no contract signed yet) bought I'd grab this offer like a shot. Now if it was still available next year...... Who knows! Good luck

I saw the earlier post and I also thought that it sounded like you had bitten off more than you could chew from what you had written. I think Daisys reply on this new post is quite gracious given how you have presented your dilemma. Separately I think if you want to buy a run down house but are inexperienced you should have a full survey done to ensure you haven’t missed any costly repairs. Then get a plan for everything you want to do to it. Consider getting a designer or concept planner on board to get a plan that is right for you. Then you need to consider budget- get your builder to quote for a fixed price contract to ensure there are no surprises. As Nest have stated there are also services for budgeting. It would make sense to find a full service from the builder- ie where they instruct and manage the trades so you only have one person to deal with. You might also research the cost of flooring, lighting, kitchens, wardrobes etc so you know how much the finishing jobs will be. How you fund this is up to you - if you total the cost of renovations they might well exceed what is available with unsecured loans (like you would take out to buy a car). Instead you might find a mortgage is the easiest and most cost effective route. What ever you decide best of luck.
