cancelling quotes
Discussion
a quickie legal question for those in the trade.
i arranged for some estimates to get my front garden landscaped & paved a couple of weeks back. the first company (X) didn't seem massively keen on doing the job citing various potential problems etc. & they took slightly longer to get back with an estimate as well.
in fact just got the estimate from the first company and surprise surprise - it's significantly cheaper than the rest - including VAT and extra stuff i specified. problem is, i have written to the last company (Y) saying i am happy with their quote etc. (pending some details) but haven't agreed any start date or payment schedule.
my fault for being too hasty, but can i cancel this without any problems or p'ing off company Y ? they both seem reputable companies (one hopes at least).

In my experience an estimate is not worth the paper it's written on.You need a good solid quote.
