There is a chance that you could recover your deposit. I'd like to say that it is easy and effortless. The fact is recovering deposits has become a legal specialty due to the potential complexities involved.

If your purchase was from a developer, the contract should spell out specifically; whether or not the sale was contingent of the buyer obtaining financing. Usually developer use a non-conditional agreement. Many properties have liens, some liens seriously affect the value- others can easily be remedied.

I suggest that you talk to an attorney that specializes in "Deposit Recovery" • Many attorney have seen the demand for such a service.
