Deposit

[robo]

Hi i paid £1000 deposit to buy a motorhome.
Due to it taking longer than we hoped to get the money, the seller has pulled out and is refusing to refund our deposit.
Where do we stand as the money we were expecting was from a house sale and the chain collapsed so was out of our control.
We have since taken out a re mortgage but the seller isn't interested.
Appreciate any advice.

Hi Rob,

It really depends on the terms of the contract. Was it a binding deposit where you have promised to buy the van? Or was it a non-binding deposit to hold the vehicle for a short period of time. Do you have anything in writing?

Best wishes,

Tony
