You will need to appoint Copthorne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Copthorne

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Copthorne conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
