We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Clifton Village
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Clifton Village conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
