Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Woodbury conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
