My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Fernhill Heath

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Fernhill Heath conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

I dont have enough spare funds to pay a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Fernhill Heath , but I am anxious proceed. What can I do?

One option is to try and agree a lesser deposit. Most vendors will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
