My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Addiscombe

It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Addiscombe conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
