Hi
I have a property already in Hungary and wanted to purchase the one next to me. I contacted the original agent who dealt with my purchase the first time and he said as I had found the property he would not charge his usual commission, (he lied, and I quote, “nobody works for nothing”) anyway I said I had to pay a deposit which I did January of this year £1900:00. When the Coronavirus started effecting people here in Hungary and in Britain, I said to him I would like my deposit back as due to unforeseen circumstances I am no longer able to purchase the property. He replied, It's the Hungarian Law that on purchasing property in Hungary deposits are not paid back. I have 3 questions: firstly who keeps the deposit the owner of the property or the solicitor? Thirdly, is this actually Hungarian Law? Or just some scheme, invented by him to yet again rip me off as a foreigner and charge 200% commission?
