My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Forest of Dean

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Forest of Dean conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
