My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Exmouth conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
