Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Bury St Edmunds conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
