The deal has fallen through.
But what happens to the deposit?
A terminated property or business sale can leave both parties asking who is entitled to the deposit.
The tricky part? It may not simply come down to who wants to keep it. The reason for termination, the contract terms and whether there has been a breach can all matter.
Before you assume the deposit is yours, make sure you understand your position and what could happen next.
