It depends how your purchase agreement was written... Did you have a mortgage contingency? If so, when did it expire, or did you release it. Usually these are a negative option, i.e. you must call to cancel the contract by a certain date because you couldn't get a mortgage. But you 'had' a mortgage so this is probably irrelevant. The fact that you 'lost' the mortgage may be irrelevant except if you can prove that their employee canceled your mortgage. Did you have 'Time is of the Essence', i.e. a drop-dead-build-by date? Your new personal issues are likely beside the point and irrelevant. ''Mercy'' is likely a comodity in short supply. You really need a real estate attorney on this. Now. Otherwies You will probably be simply SOL.
