deposit paid for Oasis but cannot complete need advice on getting money back if possible

Paid the deposit for an appartment in Oasis, but life has gone to the wall, trying to get the deposit back but the solicitor is not getting answers from HDA. Solicitor has said I may be able to claim the VAT, he also said HDA may consider going through the courts to make me pay the full amount although extremely difficult, has anyone got any experiences

Best thing to do is check your purchase contract, haven't seen one for Oasis but they are all based around a standard contract! I would say that you have most certainly lost your deposit, I would imagine that if the apartments were selling like hot cakes then HDA would have been in a better position to work out some sort of deal, but as we know they are not, so little chance under current circumstances to get anything back!

I was surprised to read that your lawyer thought that HDA could try and make you complete, again there should be a clause in your contract covering the circumstances of none completion!  Sorry for you, Oasis is really starting to take shape!

Thanks for  the reply, I have checked the contract although the wording is somewhat confusing.

As I have tried the lawyer route I have beem trying to contact Hacienda direct, although I appear to be ignored at every attempt
