Bear in mind that judges dont always view purchasers as the weak link of the chain and as we are seeing they have ruled against them in many ocassions so it is important to know what may go wrong, as after all it is the consumers´money what is at stake, not the lawyers!

According to their policies and contractual documents if you pull out without a just reason they are entitled to keep your funds but if you have a) not signed anything with them or b) signed their standard offer and reservation receipt but the seller has not complied to his/her obligations, you are entitled to your reservation deposit back.
