Unless the BA had a conflict of interest in the property or transaction, I would be very surprised if you were able to recover any costs.
Provided that they can show suitable research which justifies the value, they will be off the hook and it will be put down to "market conditions" or "individuality of each transaction".
I have heard of BA's being associated with a REA, and therefore they are in a position to collect a % of the listing agents fees, plus charge you for the privilege.
Its unscrupulous and rare, but it does happen.
