Recently I viewed a car (private sale) and was happy to purchase it. There was a problem in that the tax/log book was missing so this delayed the deal. While waiting for the tax/log book my circumstances changed which meant I was no longer in a position to buy the car.
When I pulled out of the deal the seller said they had "advice" that they did not have to refund my deposit.
Would anyone have experience of this in the past? Do I have any right to my deposit?

If it wasn't stated that the deposit was non refundable when you handed it over, then you have a claim on the money.
If there was no written or verbal contract they you can argue the case.
