It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Buxton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
