We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Fakenham

It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Fakenham conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
