The deposit is held until settlement, or until the Section 27 Statement has been accepted by the purchaser. When the deposit is released, the estate agent may retain out of the deposit moneys any amount owed in relation to the transaction.

The quickest and easiest way to arrange this is to give the completed Section 27 form to your estate agent, and instruct the estate agent to serve it personally on the purchaser as soon as the Contract of Sale has been executed by both parties. The estate agent should be instructed to send a copy of the Section 27 Deposit Release Statement to us, endorsed with the time and date on which it was served on the purchaser, so that we can monitor the 28 day count-down.
Such an objection immediately cancels the 28 day count-down. This means that the deposit will not be released before settlement unless and until the purchaser has signed the acknowledgement at the foot of the Section 27 Deposit Release Statement, and the document has been delivered to the deposit stakeholder i. If you or your real estate agent wish to have the purchaser followed up or questioned about not releasing the deposit, this can be done on your behalf by the real estate agent.
We remind you that real estate agents are usually the driving force behind such enquiries as they are often very keen to use this process to have early access to their commission.
