Will estate agent find out if we buy privately?

Yes the EA is most likely due their fee, but that's the seller's problem. However your concern should be that if the seller is happy to try to do this to the estate agent, what will they do to you? I certainly wouldn't believe a word they say to you going forward.0

What would be the situation if the seller signed up with a different EA who then sold to a buyer that had been originally introduced by the first EA?
Would the seller then be liable to two lots of EA fees?
Just curious, Scrounger0 -
i would be careful about dealing with a vendor who was -
a) prepared to stitch up an estate agent who would be rightly due their commission
b) potentially not committed to a sale given that they had come off the market0 -

That would depend on what the contract terms were for each EA0
