You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.

I am buying my first flat in Fradley with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Fradley

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Fradley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
