Yes I’m afraid so unless you have a receipt for the deposit signed by the builder ? You could then take him to a small claims court

Never pay upfront, interim payments work as long as each party have met there targets.

Probably cost you more taking it to court than it was to pay the company the deposit. Cut losses and don’t pay upfront is my motto…
