Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Chislehurst conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
I need to swap lawyers as my Chislehurst lawyer is not on the lender's panel of conveyancing solicitors. How simple is it to change conveyancer?
If you haven't yet appointed a conveyancer to start work and at this stage simply received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Chislehurst that you're thinking of instructing.
