The developer pulled out of the sale and hiked the price by £40,000.
A Paisley mum is thousands of pounds out of pocket after a developer pulled out of the sale of her new home and kept her deposit.
After several delays she learned that KR was withdrawing from the sale, and as a result of a clause in the contract, was holding on to her £2,000 deposit. But Julie told the Paisley Daily Express: "They have effectively stolen my money. We are just normal working people. In an added blow to Julie and her children, the new home was to be a fresh start for them following Julie's separation from their father. It was her own widowed dad who stepped in and paid the deposit and additional cash while her divorce was being finalised.
Julie has been in touch with the police, but was notified the issue was a civil matter and has contacted a lawyer who explained the legal fees to recoup the money could also be substantial. Now she has decided to share her story as a warning to others.
