Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Henfield conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
