How high are the estimated costs for the remaining work? What amount was retained as security?

The last installment was €8400... of which we transferred €6000 to the BT and kept the rest...

Of the remaining €2400, €500 were waived due to a planning error and failure to provide a service (instead of a 9m garage, we received a 7.5m garage)

€1900 remain outstanding... I estimate the work as a LOAN at about €700...

There are painting jobs to be done on the facade and roof beams.
In addition, in our opinion, our staircase inside was not professionally installed and due to temperature differences it expands and contracts so much that the plaster is flaking off the walls...

As I have already said, these are only repairs that should not even take a day’s work...
But since it is impossible to talk to the BT without feeling that you are not being taken seriously, all this has now escalated into a bigger annoyance than necessary....

Are you sure that the repair of the plaster is all that is needed for the staircase?

If I were you, I would get a quote from a specialist company for the repair of the staircase as well as the painting work. Then it will be clear what additional costs you will incur.

On this basis, you can then contact your construction company again and offer to transfer the outstanding amount minus the costs if, in return, the mortgage is released.

Honestly, for an estimated EUR 700.00, the hassle with a lawyer and possibly court would be too much effort for me personally – you might even end up losing money...

Best regards,

Dirk

The plaster is probably the lesser problem in this case... a drywall "wall" about 60X50 would have to be installed to replace the part that is causing the damage... ...and you are right about the effort involved and of course I have already considered that, but you don't just let everything happen to you...

Here the question arises stubbornness/rights versus reason...

I also have a problem if we give in and the BT then goes ahead with his thing anyway... He has now shown for 1 year how well he can do that...

Quite clearly, here you have to weigh what is more important to you.
If you make an (partial) payment, then it must be clearly and explicitly recorded in writing whether and, if applicable, which consideration is still to be provided by the company.
The cancellation of the builder's mortgage after full payment should also be found in the notary contract, shouldn't it?
With that, you could definitely enforce the deletion, I think.
Regards,
Dirk

I hadn't thought of that... so many trees and no forest in sight ;) Not that there are other things on one's mind...

Well, I just spoke with the developer and brought up the remaining work again... Same old blah blah... I vented my frustration and asked for the contacts of the individual companies.... ...and got them too...

Now it was 3 calls, 5 minutes of time and 3 appointment commitments... Someone explain that to me... months of back and forth and then the solution is so simple...
