We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Mulbarton
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Mulbarton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
