It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Bramhall conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
