It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Thornbury conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.

A couple of months ago I was told by my mortgage company that their approved lawyers work on no completion no fee basis for conveyancing in Thornbury. Our purchase fell through nevertheless the conveyancers have invoiced for search fees! They are claiming that the fees are seperate!

Disbursements aren’t covered – where the property lawyer have to pay money out to other people, for example Thornbury local search fees
