The Been brief Intelligence document will have to include information on the intermediary, designer or construction company, the phase of execution of the work, the plane of the house and its situation, its useful surface, the quality of the materials and the description of its services, as well as the sale price along with the expenses and the mode of payment.

He can come back at anytime and be ignored to the most part. that's what forums are all about.
