Well, I have tried to make sure i get my bricks on time ....The bricklayer is expecting to start as soon as the frame is up .....so in about 6 weeks (give or take) ...I was told originally that lead time on these bricks Wienberger Jasmine blend was 3-4 weeks and so rather than crowd a small site up ..i left them until now. Only to be told today that they have gone into shortage as they are "imported" and given a possible ? delivery date of mid November (groan) ....the only people holding stock in the UK have gone all "Dick Turpin" and want more that £2 a brick now . to me they are just like a pale reclaim (see image below of a house built with them) ...to my wife they are the bees knees however ... Has anyone seen anything like them ?

We have tried to reclaim vat on our self build, submitted all the paperwork and receipts but we have been refused. The problem being we had added a toilet and shower into a roof void space that was not on the original planning drawings, even though we made no alterations to the exterior of the build and building control approved it and signed it all off, we've been told by hmrc we have built unlawfully. Anyone else been refused like this?

We are shortly to receive the building regs completion certificate as building control are satisfied with the construction of the dwelling itself. We still have a gravel driveway to construct, a timber framed garage, patio and also to purchase and install an en suite. My question is can I reclaim vat on the materials if they are purchased after the building regs completion certificate? Having read guidance it appears that HMRC consider the building regs completion certificate as a point of completion. However, the items mentioned above are all included on the drawings and on the planning permission - even the patio is required to discharge the landscaping planning condition. There does seem to be a loophole for delaying some works (such as outside works) due to adverse weather conditions (we have been waiting for springtime to do some of the outside works). We have therefore complied with building regs but we still require these materials to comply with the planning permission / conditions. Does anyone have any experience in this please?
