should buyers pay for vendor's agent's commission when the sale didnt go through?

I disagree! As a vendor they should not be bothered what the deposit is unless if the sale is a private sale. With my latest agreement (still unconditional) I have specified only $1000 deposit and the agent did not even question me.

Wow wheres the property you're purchasing with a $1k deposit?

Purchased mine with no deposit.

It doesn't matter where the area is. If I was to pay the 10% deposit then I would have paid around $23k. What I'm trying to say is you could strike out where it says 10% deposit to the agent's Trust account and instead write down any figure you prefer. In my case, O wrote down only $1K.
