It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Llangollen conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
