Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Seahouses conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
