Need I pay the EA ?

Hi - apologies if this has been answered here.
OK, I`ll soon be putting my house on the market but have not yet instructed any of the 3 EAs who came to value it.
A woman turned up on my doorstep saying she was interested in buying in this area. It would appear she has had dealings with one of the EAs and somebody there hinted that a house would soon become available in this road. I`ve a pretty good idea who has said this, actually.
Suppose she makes an offer ... I wouldn`t be owing the EA anything, would I?
Thank you.

As far as I can tell you would not have to pay as you don't have a contract with anyone.0

If this agent has given your address away to someone then that is awful. If they have only named your road, then this person has knocked on a few doors to potentially find you, so they are very keen or a bit of a nutter.
But no you wouldn't owe anything if you did a deal with this person, as the agent has not started advertising.
If you did do a deal, more fool the agent.0 -
Thank you ognum.
I didn`t think I was morally obliged to pay anything.0 -
Thanks GAH
The house is different to all the others, it`s easy to see which one it is0
