I have been recommended by numerous estate agents in Hurstpierpoint to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Hurstpierpoint conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
