My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Tilbury
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Tilbury conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
My wife and I have an offer in principle from National Westminster Bank who suggested we could borrow up to £400k. When do I need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? Tilbury is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to appoint a property lawyer now so that the property lawyer can open the ledger so they can commence their ID checks etc. As and when you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a payment on account usually approximately £200. That would normally be once you have the mortgage offer and valuation results, however if you want to speed the process you can start the ball rolling sooner even though you may be risking some expense.
