MAJOR drainage issue- moving out and compensation

[Frustrated]

Hello
Just looking for a bit of advice… we have a new build house that completed over a year ago. We got a call out of the blue from the builders to say that our neighbours have been having issues and we both need some MAJOR remedial work doing. These repairs involve us being moved out of our home for 8+ weeks. The builders are covering alternative accommodation, removals and storage. We have had a figure through for compensation but have no idea what is a fair sum. Has anyone had any previous experience with this situation and can give us some idea of figures they received for both compensation and alternative accommodation costs?
Thanks

Only you can decided if the level of compensation is agreeable as only you can put a value on the inconvenience and cost.
It will depend on a number of factors such as the total duration which is unknown until work has finished and the standard of your alternative accommodation. (If you have a Mercedes and crash it, your courtesy car might only be a Vauxhall  Corsa!  It will still get you where you wnat to go but not as nice!)

Remember you are paying for:
1) Mortgage
2) Insurance
3) Services Electricity Water Gas and Broadband.
4) TV Licence

You will need your post re directed.
Your garden might get trashed during the works too!

As you are asking for information, perhaps you should "pay it forward" and tell the forum who the housebuilders are, the works involved and the amount of compensation you have been offered!
