Hello everyone,
we are about to start building our new house. One of the first steps was visiting a bathroom showroom, after which we received a quote for €11,000 over the original offer from the plumbing company. The fact is, the initial quote for both bathrooms was only €2,500, which is obviously completely unrealistic. On top of that, we chose very expensive sanitary fixtures and furniture. We confronted the plumbing company a bit because it’s really unfair to submit such low quotes and put the homeowners in a difficult position—especially since we didn’t have a detailed breakdown of the first offer and simply didn’t know better.
In the end, we agreed with the plumbing company that we will purchase all the faucets, bathroom furniture, etc., ourselves, and they will install everything for an hourly rate, or we might even do it ourselves in the end. This results in a total saving of about €3,000 to €4,000, which is quite significant.
My question now is: since I have to submit all invoices to our financing bank, can I include an invoice from, for example, Reuter.de? I think it should be possible, but I haven’t been able to find clear information online. This would be for faucets, sanitary fixtures, bathroom furniture, etc.
Thanks for your help.
