We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Harefield

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Harefield conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
