My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Caerwent

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Caerwent conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
