    In this situation, the vendor may end up paying fees to both agents, if he didn't carefully agree a "who sells wins" agreement at the point of marketing jointly.



    You would hope so. I think this is really bad behaviour by the vendor.


    If the vendor is willing to do this to the estate agent just think what surprises might be waiting for you further down the line.

    Is this for real?

    OP, how would you feel if you and your seller got shafted by someone with equally lacking morals and integrity?

    Um, you mean someone like an Estate Agent? :D

    Normally yes, in this instance, no! :D
  • I don't think it's your problem. If the vendor gets in a mess over fees etc., it's an issue for him/her.

    Just to be picky, you said "the offer was accepted by the online estate agency", but the agent passes the offer to their client, who accepts/declines.
