I’m selling an empty property in Wales that was previously let, using a local estate agent. A buyer viewed it through the agent but has since approached me directly about doing a deal privately and cutting the agent out. He’s said the purchase wouldn’t be in his name but in his son’s, although they live at the same address. He’s also asking for a reduction in the price to reflect the saving on agent fees. Would I still be liable to pay the agent’s fee in this situation?
