My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Carterton

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Carterton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
