The County Homesearch Co (Thames & Chilterns) Ltd v Cowham [2008] EWCA Civ 26; [2008] WLR (D) 24
“As in the case of a seller’s agent, where the remuneration of a property buyer’s agent was a commission on exchange of contracts, then unless the agency contract indicated otherwise, a term was to be implied that he was not entitled to such commission unless his services were the effective cause of the transaction brought about. However, no such term was to be implied in the present case as it would be inconsistent with the express terms of the contract between the buyer’s agent and the buyer.”
