Changes and Extra Costs Record

Six change records, each agreed and signed by the homeowner and the builder before the changed work starts: what changes and why, the price effect (a fixed amount or how it is worked out, with a cap), the time effect and the new finish date. A change log keeps a running total, and a separate log records any price rise the homeowner did not agree, with what was said. Explains in plain words that what the builder says or writes and you rely on is part of the contract (s.50), the reasonable-price rule where nothing fixes a price (s.51), and Citizens Advice's guidance on when a trader can charge more than a quote.

What it is not

It is not legal advice, it is not insurance, and it cannot make a builder or a neighbour do anything. It explains what the law in England and Wales says and gives you a clear record. For free advice on your own situation, ring the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133.
