Where a solicitor protects your position
A solicitor clarifies who must approve plans, what can and cannot be altered, and how to enforce deadlines and quality in contracts. They help protect your position when builders fail to complete work, handle snagging and defects, and ensure any financing, warranties or misrepresentations are addressed through appropriate contracts and statutory protections.
