Hi Maria, ADH tell me different! The deposit was paid on a credit card on 14-07-08. An offer of a refund was made to us on 15-07-08 on the grounds of affordabilty but after much persuasion we decided to proceed. My other half has now lost her job, other expenses have arisen in th UK that they have been made aware of but they POINT BLANK refuse to return it. Is there anything you can do for us on a professional level?

Regards.

Hi Robert.
They claim it's not been written on the reservation document but it was verbally agreed in the office at the time of signing, in fact we'd been offered a refund once before on the basis of affordability because the numbers weren't adding up. The estate agent now denies this! He tells me that 3000E are going to the vendor with another 3000E in admin fees for them?!?!
Is there anyway of getting even a partial refund out of them?

Regards.

We're in the same boat...finding your blog made up our minds. We've just walked away from a 6000E deposit. Put it down on a place in the Mijas mountains a little over a month ago. Agreed with the estate agents that it was subject to affordability & obtaining a mortgage but now they refuse to admit the clause ever existed! 
We've decided to see what happens in the next year or so before searching for our dream holiday home agian.
You live & learn!
