I am attempting to rebuild a cottage in Republic Of Ireland in a relatively remote area. I'm having to deal with very local builders and have an Architect working for me.
Both builders who have quoted for the works ( Circa £80k) are asking for 25% upfront before they lift a hammer. I'm told this is normal for the area.
I am nervous for obvious reasons.
Is it possible to get insurance against the builder defaulting / going bankrupt etc?
Any help appreciated
