My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Hastings
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Hastings conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
