Areas of Law / Debt matter

A year ago a court ordered a builder to pay me more than £2000. I was told there was little chance of obtaining the money because the builder had moved away. However I have seen him recently and wondered if I could pursue the case without incurring more legal costs.

There are a number of things you can do. If you can find out where the builder is now living you could ask for a search to be carried out at the Land Registry to see if he owns the house. If so you can apply for a charging order on it. This is not an expensive procedure, and it’s often an effective way of getting people to pay up. There are other ways of recovering money, but your solicitor will advise which, if any, is the one for you.
