Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Hunstanton
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Hunstanton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
