We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Inkberrow
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Inkberrow conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
