Generally when you buy a home you put down a deposit. Since we both sold & bought a home recently I looked at our contracts. They do indicate that if the buyer backs out for ANY reason (other than previously agreed to conditions) they lose their deposit as mitigated damages.
Without seeing your contract, I am guessing that your contract reads more or less the same.
I think it would be best if you got your attorney involved in this process so that you have another voice working on your side.
