My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Castleford
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Castleford conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
