My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’.

Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Belsize Park conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
