Hi, we've had some issues with our builder - he agreed to fix several issue with the work (none structural, mostly just snags) however he hasn't turned up with multiple different excuses over the last year. It includes some potential leak causing issues, and replacing 2 broken windows. He also has a sum on money from the last payment that hasn't been used completely unaccounted for. We managed to contact citizens advice and they advised we issue a letter with a 2 week deadline to contact us with an acceptable solution - he pushed it and keeps pushing when we can meet to agree this. If he turns up will be a week late when when we agree this. We've been unable to get through to Citizens advice since (just goes on hold for an hour) so we're wondering what the best thing to do next is, assuming he doesn't turn up like we expect? We've started getting quotes for the remaining work and it comes to around than £3000. I really don't want to have to go to court, or threaten that as I strongly suspect he will try to drag this out as long as he possibly can if we do.

I tried a few times to get through on the phone but couldn't, is there a better time to call?

Hi Folks, Getting a self-build mortgage through buildstore and Newcastle Building society, buildstore quoted me about double what I would expect for their recommended solicitor, I'm wondering if anyone had a better solicitor I could use? We're based in West Yorkshire. Thanks
