My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Great Harwood

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Great Harwood conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
