Author: Northern Ireland law inside
Subject: I would think that once the quote has been given and deposit paid that agreement of contract has already been entered. So therefore he would have to honour original quote.

The Legal Position in Northern Ireland

The key principle is this:

A quote = a fixed price offer

If you accept it and pay a deposit, a contract is formed.
A supplier cannot later increase the price unless:

• the contract/quote included a price variation clause, or
• you agreed to changes in the goods or scope of work.


This aligns with UK consumer law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which requires price terms to be transparent and fair LegalVision.

🚫 When a Supplier Cannot Raise the Price

If all of the following are true, the price is fixed:

• You were given a quote (not an estimate).
• You accepted it.
• You paid a deposit.
• There has been no change in goods, materials, or scope.
• The contract/quote does not contain a clause allowing price increases.


In this situation, increasing the price would likely be considered unfair and potentially a breach of contract.
