Hi Everyone, Can someone please help me to clarify the below question.

I have signed a contract with a builder( HIA contract) in 2018. I have lost my job recently and I want to withdraw it. Can I get the deposit that I paid? I have paid a 15K deposit.
Your help highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ruki,
What stage is the build at? It will also depend on the terms of the contract - I don't have an HIA contract with me but there may be something in it that answers, or helps to answer, your question.
