A neighbour on my IP is a tradie. We have a fence between our property that needs to be pulled down and replaced due to termite infestation.
He has offered to provide labour if I go 50/50 on costs with him. Obviously I am happy to do so, but at the same time I want to make sure that he doesn't disappear with the cash I transfer to him.
Would it be considered rude to offer 50% of my half of the cash now, and the other 50% on completion? Are there other ways people do it? Or am I meant to just bite the bullet and hope he does the right thing?
Thanks guys!
