Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Upper Norwood conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
