    Does a broker lose their fees if a sale contract is cancelled?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A broker is entitled to their fees once a contract is concluded, which usually means the sale contract is signed and registered. However, if the sale contract is made conditional upon a specific event, the broker is only entitled to their fees once that condition is fulfilled. If a deal fails because of the broker�s fraud or gross negligence, they forfeit their commission. Otherwise, their right to fees is generally protected if they have fulfilled their brokerage duties.
