Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Great Shelford conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
