I have been advised by a couple of local estate agents in Longhope to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Longhope
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Longhope conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
