My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Diss

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Diss conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

My partner and I have had DIP from Chelsea Building Society who have advised that they will loan up to £350k. When do I need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? Diss is where we plan to move to.

It would be wise to appoint a conveyancing practitioner now so that the conveyancer can open the ledger so they can conduct their ID checks etc. Once you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a deposit usually about £175. That would generally be after you have the loan offer from the bank and survey report, but if you want to speed the process you can get going sooner even though you may be risking some expense.
