My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Knottingley
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Knottingley conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
