State of home during inspection: no work started.

1. The Conflict: Advance Without Service

A homeowner paid a 40% advance (30,976 €) to a contractor to renovate her burnt home. Work did not start.

2. Technical Verification

We verified if the advance had any real counterpart:

  • No Work Start: No materials or demolition started.
  • Deficient Actions: Painting over soot and dangerous electrical connections.

3. Expert Conclusion

The report concluded no physical evidence justified the payment. The opinion served as key evidence to claim the return of the full amount.
