My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Mossley Hill
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Mossley Hill conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
