My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Trefnant
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Trefnant conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
