Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Walsall conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
