My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Erith

Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Erith conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
