Get the keys by Christmas: beautiful, chain-free homes for a speedy sale

Buying a new home can be a slow process, fraught with unexpected delays. The longer the chain, the greater the possibility that your sale will be pushed back.

If time is of the essence, we’ve got you covered. From a new flat in Bermondsey to a historic former pub in Holland Park, here are five chain-free properties to help ensure a quick sale.

This four-bedroom 1930s house has been sensitively refurbished throughout its lifetime, combining additions like a rear extension and garden office with original detailing. There’s 1,503 sq ft of space, two reception rooms, a south-facing garden – and no onward chain.
