    The contract will say whether the deposit is held as stakeholder (in which case it can't be released) or agent (it which case it can). A seller will usually only agree to to it being held as agent where the property is a new build and the deposit is insured by NHBC or a similar warranty provider. This is to stop the seller keeping the deposit then refusing to complete.
