But where do you legally stand if you have fallen in to the category of having ‘nightmare OR cowboy’ – call it what you like – builders?

In this episode senior Barrister Tim Sampson and Hatti Suvari tell you the steps that you can take if you are faced with a falling out with your builders; their top tips, and what to look out for, as always, in plain and simple English.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
