My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Headingley

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer 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 ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Headingley conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
