My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Hampton
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Hampton conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
