My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. 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 mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Wheathampstead conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
