At last I have had an offer on a flat in Llanfairfechan agreed to, the vendors do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Llanfairfechan.

First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays approved list.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’.
