Hello All,
We paid a deposit on a property and signed a contract on a Saturday. However we soon changed our mind (for various reasons) and decided to pull out. We informed the agent few hours later who says Vendor has already signed on the contract. We request refund of our 0.25% deposit.
Monday morning, agent calls to confirm that vendor has agreed to refund our deposit.
1. Should we insist on getting back the original contract that we signed on?
2. If not, what are the legal implications after the cooling off period ends? (given that we have got our 0.25% back).
3. If the agent refuses to return the original contract that we signed, what options do we have?
Please reply ASAP as we are still in the cooling off period. Many Thanks in advance.
