My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Moor Park

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Moor Park conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.

Nearly all premises in Moor Park should be revealed. Have you limited your search with just the postcode. Normally it should mention all the properties inside that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s bank.
