property is being renovated. builder has access whenever he needs it. Combi was stolen day of access. Boiler was in but not fully connected and not tested by corgi. Builder wants owner to pay for a new boiler even though there is no proof that orignal boiler was working as it was not completely installed. Is there any way that the owner of property can avoid stomping up for another boiler ? Help

At the point of the boiler being stolen, who owned it. The builder or the home owner. Had the home owner yet paid the builder for it. Answer this, and i think it will indicate who's responsibility it is to replace it.

The builder or contractor is not responsible for job site security. If someone stole your mailbox the day the electrician was wiring up ceiling fans would you ask him to replace it? If the contractor can produce a recept for the boiler and can produce a single witness i.e. one of his helpers who saw him bring it to your home then he is off the hook.
Construction sites are often singled out for robbery and theft.
You can try small claims court but I wouldn't go that route if possible. If you get a reputation of messing with contractors it will get around by word of mouth. And your next contractor will inflate your bill accordingly.

Builder is absolutly responsible! The boiler was stolen from his job site, not your home. Until the job was completed and inspected, the boiler was still his as promised in contract. Tell your agent and let your insurance company fight with your contractors. If your contractor does not have insurance, , , FIRE him.

I would think the builder was responsible. Like you said, there is no proof that it even existed at the property. This sounds like a case to get an attorney involved in. The item is not a cheapy.

India had a thorough to suitable adventure after Australia's first innings batting,i assumed it replaced into stable first innings from Aussies yet India scored so quickly because of the fact of Dhawan and co and Australia's 2nd innings capitulation that exceeded off so quickly on the final day can not be defined even via Ian Chappell.Batting for India clicked so nicely in this sequence,they had a thorough to suitable adventure.Australia could've drawn this adventure yet they ended up dropping on the final day because of the fact of a few undesirable batting in 2nd innings.

if there was a breakin then you pay but if the builder left a door open & access was gained that way then the builder is to pay or if the builder failed to secure your property then it is down to him

usually the property owner is responsible unless your contract states otherwise. Check with your property insurance to see if they cover it.
