I am currently building a home. We terminated the contract with the builder due to material breaches of the build contract. Now, the bank with whom we have the construction loan requires the old builder to sign an All Bills Paid affidavit, as well as the Transfer of Mechanics Lien document to the new builder. The old builder is refusing to sign these documents, despite the fact that everyone has been paid. Sour apples, if you will. But it's holding up the entire process. Is there any remedy for owners other than litigation?
Where is the home being built? Who is the new and old contractors? What bank are you using?
