My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Twyford
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Twyford conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
