All Topics / Finance / can vendor access deposit?
Is there any reason (legal or otherwise) that if a purchaser gives approval for vendor to access deposit money BEFORE settlement, that it cant be done?? My solicitor is telling me he doesnt think it’s “allowed”. [confused2]
Whilst it may vary from State to State it is certainly legal in Qld and in fact common practice especially on lengthy Development style contracts which usually have many conditions.
Most Vendors would certainly want the deposit to be released.

I am not sure about other states but if the purchaser agrees then it can be done in NSW

[email protected]In QLD so long as it is written in to the contract it is allowed.
Commonly known as an “early release of deposit”
This is especially common when there is a long settlement and a large deposit.
