Would we have to pay two EA's??

We finished with our last EA over two weeks ago, due to bad service, and four days later got another one. The only problem is that we've had an offer now, and we cant find the piece of paper that the first EA gave us about the tie in limit. My DH thinks that theres some sort of 28 day tie in that if we sell with another agent in that period, we have to pay his fees too. We never signed anything, but we did have over ten viewings with him. Is this true? And if it is, do we accept the offer after the 28 days?? The potential buyer had never viewed our house before.

You need to check the 'notice period' somehow, might have to ask them. Thats the period you'll have to wait before proceeding with a new EA (accepting the offer). Mine is 2 weeks.
There might also have been a minimum contract which could be anything between 3 and 26wks (average of about 10 I believe), depending on their contract. You really never signed anything? They'd have a hard time taking you to court I'd have thought without your signature!!0
