House deposit

With regard to your purchase predicament I agree with Glassfull - at this stage of the buying process it is really out of the Estate Agents hands. What advice has your solicitor given you? Your solicitor would certainly have the vendors details for direct contact. Also it looks like you are withdrawing completely from buying and not simply delaying the purchase. Business is hard enough in these trying times without been named/shamed for something out of your control.

I am horrified they would act in this way. Where is compassion when I am suffering so.

Yes I want to pull out completely, even if my husband recovered it will be many many months of rehabilitation I have been told so I just want to be near my family In The uk. Nothing against Spain it has always been our dream to retire here we just did not bargain for covid but then nobody did.
