We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Lampeter
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Lampeter conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
