Why for Gods sake did you not follow the deadline specifically as lined out?
You are making a major purchase here.

Personally I think if you can prove that he intentionally delayed the
process you may have grounds to collect all the expenses but I am not a
Lawyer.

But look at it this way, you have experience now to guide you on your next
offer.

I am struck up in a strange situation. I made an offer to the seller
of the property he accepted it and I paid him the deposit. I did the
home inspection and we decided to sign the Sales & Purchase by 20 days
(that is June 29). The seller found a better offer and now he wantedly
made me to wait till June 29 and now he has come back saying that the
offer is not valid anymore because we didn't sign the Sales & Purchase
by the deadline. I don't know what to do with this person. He says he
can give me back the deposit but no home inspection cost.
Is the seller correct to say that the offer is not valid because the
Sales & Purchase was not signed by the deadline. Is he liable to pay
the inspection cost along with the deposit. What should I do further.
Any advice is highly appreciated
