My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Osterley
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Osterley conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
