I gave a deposit of 35000 yuan in advance. Can I ask the seller to pay 200000 yuan for the interest and lost time?
[Lawyer's reply] The seller's repudiation constitutes a breach of contract. If you didn't sign the agreement but paid the deposit, you can ask for a double return of the deposit, which is 70000 yuan. As for the interest of 200000 yuan and the cost of lost time, if it can be proved that there is a direct causal relationship with the seller's breach of contract, such as the interest generated from the loan only after waiting for the purchase of the house, compensation can be claimed, but there must be evidence. The solution is to negotiate compensation with the seller first, and if the negotiation fails, legal means can be taken to safeguard rights.
