We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Ellesmere Port
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Ellesmere Port conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
