My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Workington

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Workington conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
