It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Thame conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
