Hi
I am having a bathroom refurbished and found a bathroom fitter who has provided a good quote, can start in about three weeks and seems good. He has asked for 25% of the money upfront 'to buy materials', with a further 50% payable on commencement and then the final 25% on completion. I can understand the 50% payable on commencement it is the 25% prior to starting that I find difficult to understand - is this a usual payment condition?
Thanks
