An Ontario couple has been left without a home after a developer wanted to charge them tens of thousands of dollars more than the price in the original purchase agreement.
Cathy Hilton, 61, and her husband Eric Hilton, 63, of Jarvis, Ont., say they have been left without a home to call their own after a developer wanted to charge them tens of thousands of dollars more than the price in the original purchase agreement.
They say mere weeks before the date they were promised their prefabricated house would be delivered, the company told them they had to pay $42,000 more."We just thought, 'This can't be happening. Why are they doing this?'"Comfort Homes has not responded to multiple CBC requests for comment. The purchase agreement with the Hiltons says "any changes or modifications" to the price are at the discretion of the company.
"If this was an estimate, that would be different … but this thing that they gave us was down to the penny. This was not an estimate. This was our price." "They told us that because of the tornadoes that ripped through Kentucky, that the builders were supplying temporary housing … but in addition to that, we're going to need $40,000-plus in order for you to get your house.""I emailed them back and said, 'Just stick to the contract and get us the house for the price quoted,'" Eric said.
