You have the right to dispute money being claimed if you do not agree that it is owed.

This may happen where the builder has overcharged, carried out defective work, failed to complete the job, claimed for extra work that was not agreed, or issued a final bill that does not match the original agreement.

There may also be strict rules about payment notices, applications for payment and when sums become due, particularly in commercial construction disputes.

It is important to respond carefully and avoid ignoring the issue. Havard Law Solicitors can review the demand, contract and evidence, then advise on the best response.
