We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Seaview

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Seaview conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.

Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Seaview being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our mortgage company?

We do not recommend specific Seaview firms as the right Seaview conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Seaview knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
