Verbal contracts are contracts all the same
Many people assume that unless a written contract exists then there is no formal agreement in place and breach of contract sanctions will not apply. Whilst a written contract is the ideal, a verbal agreement is just as binding as a written one and you can still pursue the building company if a dispute arises.
Common breach of contract problems include:
- not completing the agreed work to an acceptable standard
- falling weeks or months behind the agreed work schedule
- asking for further funds in order to complete the job
