Builder took our 5% deposit as they stated they were within their rights to charge a reasonable amount for work already completed including colour selection appointment and submitting plans for developers approval. So be very careful before you cancel the contract. It should be subject to finance but we had already submitted a letter from the bank stating we had been approved (the first time) so it was technically unconditional after that. We are just devastated we lost so much money. I would never sign a building contract before land has titled ever again. have you considered consulting a different broker and re-applying? I know there are lenders that have high interest rate but they do give loans easily. Can you pass me details of the broker who can help? Thanks mate.

You are within your rights to get your money back regardless. However if their special conditions (which builders usually add to a standard contract) state otherwise, then you may not be able to. I would check with your solicitor.
