We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Goddington
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. 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 have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Goddington conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
