    Are you satisfied that it has been answered? If the EA has introduced a person to you who is willing and able to purchase at a price that you agree is reasonable, then the EA's job is done and he or she is entitled to the full fee. It is normal for EAs to seek a fee where the vendor subsequently withdraws from the sale, and some will seek the full fee.

    Yes I am:)
    My responses we either to answer questions re: tracker and porting or to point out that I wasn't going to be the wagon that some posters assumed I was, it was always my intention to the bill.

    Was in a similiar situation as yourself good few years ago. The estate agent had no sale no fee.

    We pulled out of sale for a number of reasons. We didnt get a bill from estate agent. Did your agent have a policy of no sale no fee?

    OP, what would happen if you accepted an offer for your home, something popped up in the survey and the buyers pulled out or couldn't agree another price. do you think the EA would still have billed you ?

    Surely no sale no fee would apply to them not finding you a buyer? This has not been the case here; they found a buyer and would expect that the sale would complete as intended.
