Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Silsoe conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
