Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what time limit (if any) is appropriate and who you suggest I contact in order to receive this.

Appreciate your help and look forward to your advice
"When buying a house, you typically lose your deposit (also called "earnest money") if you back out of the deal without a valid reason outlined in the contract, such as failing to meet contingencies like getting financing approval, passing inspection, or if you simply change your mind after signing the purchase agreement; in these situations, the seller can usually keep your deposit."
