My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Blakedown

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Blakedown conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
