My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Stoke Gifford
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Stoke Gifford conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
