VIC Paid Deposit but didnt sign building contract

[zima]

hi guru
i was going to sign a building contract but there were some concerns - so builder agreed to raise a post contract variation after I sign the contract - the draft was created with me but required management approval - I asked to send an email confirming this which they agreed... I paid the deposit but didn't sign the contract - now builder is not returning my calls or replying my emails...

am I legally bind to the contract since I paid the deposit...

Not enough detail to comment.

You really need a lawyer to look at all the facts before proper advice can be given. Something like this should not be left to an answer on a forum.

If you don't already have a lawyer get in contact with me. See my signature.
