Failure to Return Buyer's Deposit Despite Seller not able to transfer 8 months later.

Very unresponsive to emails and they refuse to return my deposit of R250,000 for a home that could not be transferred because the bank is in litigation with the historic owner. They represent the seller and as a buyer I paid the deposit as requested, move in day was supposed to be 1 November 2020 which has been delayed due to failure to lodge transfer. They continued to ignore my inquiries about my deposit and and now refuse to return it nearly a year later since it was paid. The bond expired in February 2021 and they've ignored most of my emails since then only responding when the agent contacts the seller yet they're the ones who invoiced me directly for the payments. I've also lost money on the bond transfer attorneys due to their non communication while collecting my deposits.
