What agent could do to change your mind?
They need to check vendors situation at the start of the process, not expect the buyer to find it all out after forking out a lot of money and time.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Explain the terms and conditions before having you see their "advisor" numerous times, including which banks they do and don't use for mortgages. Don't try and force a solicitor upon people. Don't force you to use their advisor for a mortgage and charge for a lifetime membership which we don't want.
