We have all heard it before – “Yes of course Mr Smith, It’s not a problem - we will definitely be here all day tomorrow.”Or – “Oh yes I forgot we said we would install the drive as well”.A contract is the glue that seals the relationship between a client and his contractor, consultant or supplier and it is essential to ensure that the terms of any deal are clearly written and protect the home-owner’s interests.The truth is most of us can’t afford to take the chance and although the legal expenses cover I was describing earlier will assist you with a dispute, its only in relation to contractual disputes so if you don’t have a contract, its not going to respond.How many of you have thought about getting your professional, contractors and tradesmen to sign up contractually but worried about the cost for contracts?How much do you think that might cost ? £100 £200? £500??Self-Build Zone has teamed up with Contractstore to provide a solution for you that will provide your contract requirements for £49 + VAT.
