On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Woodbridge

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Woodbridge conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
