Re: Despair!! - District 8 Budapest
Unfortunately, delays are part and parcel of many construction projects in every country. For the most part, buyers have to put up with them, unless something very specific is written into the purchase contract. On first impression, it sounds like you entered a contract and then pulled out without completing, so it would appear that the developer is entitled to keep your deposit.
I don't think the Hungarian legal system is biased. It's a very open and fair system and I would guess that if you have a legal right to get your deposit back, then you will get it.
Is the contract in Hungarian or English? If Hungarian, I'd be happy to have a look at it for you.
