Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Mersea Island conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
