My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Lickey End

Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Lickey End conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

My wife and I today become aware that one of the directors of the conveyancing practice acting on the purchase conveyancing in Lickey End is an aunty of the seller. Is this acceptable?

As long as there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. Where you are needing mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific requirements on this. For example for Halifax Loans as of 13/2/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Not if the person dealing is the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family. Your firm may act if a separate fee earner of no less standing or a partner in the firm acts for us.
