As a Brit-by-birth but Usonian-by-choice, I'm always amazed whenever I go to visit family in the UK how much "chains" feature in real estate listings there. You almost never see anyone refer to this in US sales listings, other than perhaps a vague alusion to "motivated seller". Wandering around RE agent shops in Bath, it seems that 30-50% of every window-displayed listing mentions something about the chain status.
Odd. Interesting. Both.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoThey tend to highlight if there is no chain because that's a selling point. Likewise if you're looking to buy and have no chain (e.g. you're renting) it's worth mentioning it to the agent as that also makes you a 'good' buyer. Also perhaps if the chain is in place apart from finding a buyer for the advertised property (i.e. seller has already found their next property, etc) because, indeed, that means that the seller wants to get on with it ASAP.
