Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Builder's Allowances
When we moved into a new house (10/2002) we anticipated owing the builder approx. $2,500.00 we were aware of. In January 2003 the punch list items were nearly completed so we went to pay the $2,500.00. We were given a bill for $9,000.00 which included the $2,500.00. The other $6,500.00 was for costs exceeding allowances that we were not aware of and did not agree to (surveys, clearing and grading, sod, irrigation, mail box, etc.). Are we obligated to pay these excess fees after the closing?

Retain counsel to read and review your contract. Without doing so, it is not possible to give you a meaningful answer.

Read your contract with the builder/developer. Without reviewing the contract, I cannot give you much guidance.
