My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Baldock

Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Baldock conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
