So, you now know the agent is dodgy.

Are you angry enough to waste their time?

Shocking. Who could have guessed that?

OP, you have three choices. You can pay up (he's looking for more money), tell him "Sorry, we had an agreement, you're having it on, take it or leave it," or just say, "Sorry, not interested then," and walk away.

In the first, you'll probably have your flat but at more than you agreed and you'll have an agent who's dodgy, which may come back to bite you later.

In the second, you might end up with the flat anyway (bird in the hand and all that) at the price you agreed, but you'll have an agent who's dodgy. Maybe he'll respect you and you'll have no more trouble, or maybe he'll be out to make you pay some other way.

In the third, you don't have the flat but you don't have to work with him anymore. And then, you can have the fun of wasting his time, as suggested above.
