We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Moorgate
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Moorgate conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
