We're in Parsons Green, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Parsons Green
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Parsons Green conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
