My house was rented and managed via estate agent. The agent claimed that many equipments at my home was broken and needed to be replaced as well as few building works done. Although I received invoices, he never provided me with receipts from shops how much everything exactly costs. I paid for everything but was unable to check it in person due to living abroad. Later on, after moving back to my house, I have found out that some equipment, which meant to be broken, was in working order and not changed by him at all (I paid for it as well). I have asked for full list of how much everything cost, who did the changes, where was it bought, warranties and receipts. I have received reply with a heading "WITHOUT PREJUDICE" and explanation, that the items was bought as a bulk item, he has already provided me with invoices and is ready to go to court, therefore sent a copy of this letter to solicitor. He did not proposed me any sensible solution, claiming that he did everything correct. I have spent about £1500 for all those "changes" and therefore I am not sure is this case suitable for Small Claim Court (I read that housing issues are up to £1000) and am I in position to claim a proof other than an invoice? He refused to provide such, therefore on which ground can I take an action against him? And can I use that letter in a court? Thank you.
