Once again you demonstrate why the best way of dealing with you and people like you is to ignore the nonsense you spout and move swiftly on.

What JFM advised was factually correct, which is undoubtedly of more use than large doses incorrect platitudes coming from people like yourself. I’m sure most people when asking for advice would prefer a factually correct response even if it is not what the want to hear.

You are so so clever.

Thank you. So kind of you to mention it.

To be fair, Jez was pretty rude too.

I think you got the impeller in the wrong way round there

Nope BIg plumbs I stand by what I said , there is no room for insults on this forum whatsoever.
This is one of the best if not the best forum on YBW for help when it’s needed , to see any post turned into a slanging match between forum memebers just shows there lack of intelligence, morals and respect for each other .

Over the years I’ve always had a great memory for the keyboard warriors and when they have posted on here wanting advise on a subject I know about I’ve given them a wide berth by keeping my knowledge to myself.
JFM will always call it how it is , so will I so I suggest you think again.

Personally I would keep a chunk of the deposit to cover lost costs and a little extra to cover any extra depreciation / annoyance / hassle factor.
Then I would return the rest of the deposit.

@flowerpower, ok we're 100% agreed then. (You didn't actually answer the Q though!)

@generally, crikey!

@ jez/fp post 173 - good call

@ portofino- that story is indeed true because you can read it in the court papers. The house was villa Leopold in villefranche. Seller was Lilly Safra, widow of murdered Edmond Safra of eponymous bank. House price and deposit were €390m/€39m. Was then (2008, just pre Lehmans) the highest price ever contracted for sale of a residence and might still be unless Mr Ratcliffe paid more for his recent cap ferrat acquisition. The interesting philosophical point ( to debate another day) is how French law grants the deposit to the seller as a sort of penalty whereas in UK and other countries the law will never overtly allow one citizen to punish another; only the state can punish you. That said Lilly Safra is an uber philanthropist and gave the money along with lots more to charity.

or as wikipedia says :
The Russian billionaire businessman Mikhail Prokhorov made several attempts to buy the Villa Leopolda from Safra before she finally accepted his offer for €370 million (plus €19.5 million for the villa's furniture) in the summer of 2008.[8][9] Initial reports on the villa's sale in July 2008 had falsely identified fellow Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich as the purchaser.[10] Prokhorov would later deny that he had bought the property, with his spokesperson saying that he had refused to do business in France after his 2007 detention by French police for allegedly providing prostitutes for guests at Courchevel, the ski resort in the French Alps. No charges were ever filed against Prokhorov in the prostitution case.[11]
Prokhorov attempted to withdraw from the sale in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, which led to a lawsuit between Prokhorov and Safra over the €39 million deposit that he had paid on the villa. A French court ruled against Prokhorov in November 2012 with Safra subsequently announcing that she would donate his deposit to various global charities
