My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Hampton
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Hampton conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
