We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in New Ferry
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted New Ferry conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
My plan is to acquire a ground floor flat in New Ferry. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the seller, building insurance paperwork.

Is it really necessary? We have been stalled for the last fortnight…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in New Ferry to discover Conveyancing in New Ferry in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete premises - which is clearly preferable. You should clarify with your conveyancer but it would seem that your solicitor is attempting to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed for lack of insurance.
