We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Gotham
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point 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 wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Gotham conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
