Really wish we would get over the notion that chain free means a quick transaction.
We're acting for a client that is chain free, in a position to complete but has turned round this week and said they want to spend one last Christmas in the property, so there's another 6 weeks added on to a transaction that was supposed to be a quick and easy one according to chain free logic.
