Interesting video which may be of interest/relevance to some.

Irrelevant crap. As always. Nothing new under the sun As flattering as it is that you seem to have developed some sort of rather pervy fixation with my posts I would (again) just point out that reading them and quoting them is not ignoring them.

We met Mr Cruising The Cut last year at some lock somewhere.

Irrelevant crap. As always. Well I watched it The only thing I was pleased to learn (the rest I've pretty much gathered from the forums) was that a bit of humanity came into the process of deciding whether or not to refund the deposit. FWIW, my wife (nearly) died between exchange and completion of our house, thankfully everyone was sensible and were prepared to wait for probate.

FWIW, my wife (nearly) died between exchange and completion of our house, thankfully everyone was sensible and were prepared to wait for probate. When we sold our boat through Rugby Boats in 2015 (pre the current owners at RBS) a guy placed a deposit on it and then changed his mind the next day citing all sorts of wooly reasons about, mooring costs blah blah blah. It didn't even get to the survey stage. He lost his deposit. I don't know what would have happened if he had claimed some sort of personal catastrophe instead. I suppose you are at the mercy of the buyers honesty if somebody wanted to claim a reason that you might get your deposit back for rather than a reason you might not.

Hopefully you would have accepted a certified death certificate for refunding a deposit.

Hopefully you would have accepted a certified death certificate for refunding a deposit. Of course. The broker would have had to agree too though as the contract to actually pay the deposit was with them ISTR. I do think Dominic, who owned RBS at the time would have done in a heartbeat.

Good Legally there is no 'Of course' - sometimes humanity should trump legal stuff.

I don't know how much his deposit was, mine was £1,500 on a £23,500 boat and I imagine his must have been similar or even more. Seems a complete waste of a lot of money.

We were amazed that he came up with that reason TBH and couldn't believe that was the reason given for much the reason you have said. I cant say though if he was just using it as an excuse. We knew the boat could have done with a cabin re-paint and on a 60ft boat that wasn't going to be cheap. But this was something he was well aware of before he made the offer. The broker was careful to point out any know 'faults' with the boat. I don't believe the people who bought it have bothered though (at least last time I was sent a picture they hadn't) so he could have just stuck with it as it was (faded red). I cant recall the exact figure now but he lost something like twice that. An expensive mistake.

Something I've always wondered... Who gets to keep the non refunded deposit? You as the seller, the broker or 50% split each?

It's split between the broker and the seller, the terms of the split may vary but ISTR we got around 60% and the broker 40%. It was paid to us when the boat sold and added to the final amount that the broker sent us.
