We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Filton

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Filton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
