We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Guiseley

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Guiseley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.

For most situations a specialist may be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located.
