My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Somerstown

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Somerstown conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.

I am due to review estimates for conveyancing in Somerstown from three conveyancer and choose one. Am I right to instruct them to hold tight until I have found somewhere to acquire.

We would recommend that you only ask your conveyancing practitioner to open a file and submit searches once the offer has been agreed to on the property especially as Somerstown conveyancing searches are costly.
