We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Rushden
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Rushden conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
