We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Oakwood

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Oakwood conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
