Better than being 10k down which they are entittled to not refund as they will say the kitchen and carpets have been ordered for you (even if not fitted).

I received my agreement in principle so paid £500 to reserve a new Barratt home. I selected my upgrades last week as the build was due to be started - I paid 20% deposit for them. I have not yet signed missives as I'm waiting for my full mortgage offer being processed so there is a slight risk that it could still fall through - hopefully not, but if it does, my loss is minimal in comparison to yours.
Barratt T&Cs state that if the sale does not go ahead, I will receive 50% refund on my upgrades deposit however if the roof has been placed then I receive nothing.
Are Bellway requesting the entire cost of your upgrades to be paid upfront? Seems a lot to be asking for the total amount immediately and I would be asking Bellway for some reassurance of a refund/partial refund if the sale does not go ahead."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/29026184","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"mackey24680"},"datePublished":"2016-10-24T15:02:20.000Z","text":"They want the full amount"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/29026686","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jude7219"},"datePublished":"2016-10-24T16:30:57.000Z","text":"I would not order or part with any money until you are 100% certain everything will go through. Ive heard horror stories from my friend in the business lately of it going wrong and people losing everything. If any doubt at all, don't do it. If they value your custom (which I don't believe any new build companies do, I also used to work in the business) they will be understanding. Worse comes to worse, get your own people to do it. Will probably be cheaper although inconvenient. If they are giving you aggro before you've even moved in, imagine what the after sales is like."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/29026697","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jude7219"},"datePublished":"2016-10-24T16:33:29.000Z","text":"Could you request your reservation fee be transferred to another plot thats further behind on the build so you have a delay in having to pay out all that money? Having to pay the whole lot up front doesn't seem right.
