Insurance Bayview, Let me echo the congratulations - I am sure your preparation and persistence will see you through. You haven't specifically mentioned insurance - I would be (if not already done of course!) organising relevant insurance for your interest prior to settlement. Your...

I would ring them and ask for a copy of the invoice. It's not worth the worry regarding if and when they might invoice. Reminding the plumber to charge you will hopefully create a gold star in the plumbers mind for you that you might be able to use in future (emergency response/cheaper price...
