House insurance I am sure has legal cover.

However, we have already used the solicitor and Redrow just ignores
anything we send them. They know that we do not have enough time money
or sanity ( we have been living like this fighting for 16 months) to go
through that process.

They have us cornered.

Unfortunately you (Like myself with builders previously) sound like you
fall in that bracket of it's too expensive to forget, but not expensive
enough for a solicitor to be able to make the claim & claim costs from
the vendor.

I suspect that you're going to have to doit yourself. But if you do,
make sure you keep the reciepts & take them to small claims to recover
the money. I wouldn't spend any more on solicitors. They're a complete &
utter waste of money (In this country anyway). Unless it's over 5000stg
in england, it just costs you money & the other size won't pay anyway
because they know it's more expensive for you to sue them than to not.

[I'm still bitter about my loft, but at least I know that I can do a
better job than the last bodgers. Which is pretty damning considering
they're supposed to be a specialist conversion company & I'm an IT
Consultant that sits in a chair all day playing with firewalls & load
balancers]
