The repercussion would be that he would lose his deposit... Hard to say if there's anything beyond that, I wonder if a builder would have it in their contract so that it's not just the deposit, but the deposit plus any difference with market value (i.e. if it sold for $40,000 less than what it cost them to build it would they go after the extra $10k)?
