Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Coleford conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
