    Could someone please provide their opinion on this?

    I bought a new house last year and works are being completed now.

    Builder told me there are extras that I need to pay in the range of €5000+VAT as different authorities such building envelope, energy & air tightness regulators, and electrical engineers recommended changes in his initial plan which has resulted in this extra cost.

    I wasn't made aware of these costs and builder made the necessary changes. Now he told me these will be added in my final amount.

    We signed contract in March 2019 and final price agreed on it. Is this the norm and where do I stand?
    The house is in an estate.

    Thank you

    Solicitor.

    I would be pushing back on this very strongly. He should have had all this stuff sorted before the houses were sold, you should not be expected to pay for his mistakes.
