We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Kidsgrove

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Kidsgrove conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
