My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Holbeach
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Holbeach conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Holbeach?
Conveyancing - in Holbeach or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you move in.
