We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we use their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Bankside

It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Bankside conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
