We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Brighstone

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Brighstone conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
