Dear Questioner,

Booking payments made are usually non-refundable unless there are special circumstances.

Deciding not to buy the flat after viewing it is not a reasonable ground unless the terms and conditions state otherwise.

Dear Questioner,

If you have paid a booking fee for a flat purchase and later decide not to buy the flat, you are entitled to a refund of the booking fee.

However, the process for getting the refund may vary depending on the terms and conditions of the booking agreement.

The first step is to review the terms and conditions of the booking agreement that you signed with the developer or real estate agent.

This will outline the conditions for getting a refund and the timeline for the refund process.

Dear Questioner,

It depends on the policy; if the payment is refundable, then you can get it.

If it is not refundable, then you can't get it.
