Can I sell my house privately now I'm out of contract with Agent?
Our contract came to an end recently, but we still want to sell and are thinking of either advertising privately of going with another agent. Do we still have to pay the old agents fees if we sell, as it states in their contract that if we do sell and if the purchaser was originally introduced by them they get their commission which is fair enough. But, if we get someone fresh, is there a time limit when no fees should be paid?

If you have a fresh buyer, no fee should be payable to the old agent, regardless of timescale. get a list from the old agent of all the names they regard as having 'introduced' via their marketing before you leave them.

I agree, provided that the estate agent did not introduce the buyer, there should not be any commission due. I am sure there probably is a time limit in law whereby no commission is due as a consequence of time but you would need to speak to a lawyer on that one.
