It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Coedpoeth conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
