May 21, 2021 at 16:24 comment added HJRW @guest5781 cites a paper of Dahmani--Guirardel--Przytycki, who proved that random groups in the Gromov density model have property (FA) at all positive densities. By way of contrast, (T) is known to hold at density greater than 1/3 (by a theorem of Zuk--Kotowski--Kotowski), and known not to hold at densities <5/24 (by a theorem of Mackay--Przytycki). So groups random groups at densities <5/24 also provide examples.

May 21, 2021 at 9:11 comment added HJRW Some of the most classical examples that illustrate the difference are the fundamental groups of non-Haken 3-manifolds. These have Property (FA), but never (T).

May 21, 2021 at 5:09 comment added AGenevois Many groups acting non-trivially on CAT(0) cube complexes (in particular, they do not have (T)) have (FA). See for instance: mathoverflow.net/questions/308865/…
May 21, 2021 at 3:50 comment added Venkataramana The wikipedia article has quite a bit of information about groups with property FA but not property T. For example $SL_2({\mathbb Z}[{\sqrt 2}])$ has property FA but not property T. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serre%27s_property_FA
May 21, 2021 at 1:26 comment added guest5781 You should look at the random groups in the Gromov density model and see if the density for (FA) is not the same as for (T). See this paper.
