THE KNOWLEDGE
BUYING A HALF-COMPLETED PROJECT
For anyone buying a project mid-way through, Simon would recommend the homeowner asks the builder/developer for an intricately detailed specification on the proposed finishes.
“In this case I gave specification and monetary allowances for sanitaryware and furniture in each bathroom, kitchen and utility cabinetry and worktops, floor coverings, light fixtures and internal doors and even paint colours and brands,” says Simon. “I then told Clair and Guy that they could trade up or down depending what finishes they wished to change.”
