We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Rothley
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Rothley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
I purchased a house in Rothley last 15/7/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my conveyancer told me that it can take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Do I need to be concerned?
