When will the property deposit be paid?

The real estate deposit is generally paid when signing the purchase contract. Sincerity money is the down payment paid by buyers to developers before buying a house, and it is one of the ways for buyers to express their intention to buy a house. When signing a house purchase contract, the buyer needs to pay a deposit, which is generally within a certain proportion of the house price. The payment method of the deposit can be cash, transfer, check, etc. Specific methods need to refer to the developer's regulations. After paying the deposit, the developer will reserve housing for the buyers and provide corresponding preferential policies for the buyers. The buyer finally decides to give up buying a house, and the developer will return part or all of the deposit according to the terms agreed in the contract. It should be noted that the payment and return of the deposit should be clearly stipulated in the purchase contract, and the purchaser should carefully read the contract and consult professionals when signing the contract.
