My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Aylesford

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Aylesford conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.

Finally our conveyancing in Aylesford is completing this Friday, yet the owners I am buying from wishes to move out 24 hours later at PM. Do I agree to such a idea?

In situations where you are having a bank loan then your lawyer will demand that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lender will demand it.
