My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Warkworth
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Warkworth conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
