Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Idaho

different interpretation of purchase and sale agreement
The purchase agreement on my new home stipulated that the builder would ''put a fence in the back yard, type to be similar to neighbors.'' the builder considers my neighbor's fence as the completing side of my fence (thus my fence has only 2 sides, the 3rd side being the back of my neigbor's fence). Basically, I am looking at the 'framing of his wooden fence, wheras I am looking at the 'slats of my fence. My neigbor would not let the builder 'connect' to his fence without paying him $300 (which he did not pay), so there is a gap between my fence and his. I wrote a letter to the builder asking him to finish it, and he told me he would not. He said that he supplied me and my realtor with the original bid for the 2-sided fence. I, nor my realtor, ever received this quote. In they eyes of the law am I right or his my builder right? I would really like for my fence to be completed! Thanks so much! -matt

Re: different interpretation of purchase and sale agreement

You are correct, he is wrong. Obtain a written estimate to finish the fence the right way & then sue. Check your contract for procedures to follow.
