We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Fulham conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by HQ.
