Bro... verbal contract DOES NOT MEAN SHIT.
They are not in anyway shape of form binding. Do not be taken in by TV.
As far as i can see, they don't have a leg to stand on. No agreements were made, and nothign was signed.
They have no case.
Here's the deal - your estate agent is probably workingon 100% commission. Which means, he only makes money if he sells anything. He will lie, cut, cheat, steal, ANYTHING to earn some money.
So basically, you write a letter threatening them court action if the do not return your deposit within 28 days.
You site the law saying they MISREPRESENTED the flat they sold. Do NOT mention your discussion. Simple case - i was told an IDENTICAL flat would be made available to me, which it was not.
After 28 days, you go to a lawyer, who for £20 will write the self same letter, as well as threatening to extract all legal cost.
80% chances you will be refunded after your first letter.
Anyway - by refusing to refund your deposit, they are acting illegally. Trust me.
