Hi

We are in our new house 4 years. There is an on going issue which the developers failed to resolve, even after numerous attempts. This is one of many issues (some of which have been resolved). If we hired a third party to fix it, would we be in a position to take legal action against the developer should they choose not to pay the costs? Anybody ever in a similar scenario? We have a communication trail about this particular issue over the years.

thanks
