It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Copse Hill conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
