Your house is not finished. You turn against the builder's guarantor

 

The builder to whom you entrusted the construction of your house has abandoned the site. After unsuccessful formal notice from the builder (see letter "The construction of your house is not completed within the time limits set by the contract. You give the builder notice", page 94), you can ask his guarantor to take the manufacturer's relay to complete the work.

 

Indeed, the manufacturer must, under penalty of criminal penalties, provide you with a delivery guarantee provided by an insurance company or a credit institution approved by an official body. The contact details of the guarantor establishment appear in the guarantee certificate annexed to your contract. Double check that it refers to your construction.

 

As such, the guarantor institution is also required to pay the late penalties provided for in the contract if the delay exceeds thirty days, in accordance with Article L. 231-6 of the Construction and Housing Code.
