Keep the deposit, not the other £400, thats a bit steep. Its only been three weeks. To take £500 of someones cash is a bit harsh even if they have messed you about. The £100 deposit is more than enough imo

As above, and tbh let it be a learning experience and DON'T accept part payments after a deposit as it only drags it out and you end up like this. I'd give him until the END OF THE MONTH to come up with the rest and tell the other prospective buyer to wait until then. Most people get paid month end, so if he doesnt have the money by then, sell it on and give him his 400 back.
