England. Yes very different to Australia where I have bought & sold
two houses.

Also very different to Scotland, where everything's binding much
earlier in the process.

Oh , it really isn`t ,notice the new rash of Sold STC, subject to
conclusion , or SSCM, sold subject to conclusion of missives.

Sold in Scotland is just like England now, Sold is when the money is in
your bank...


but the point at which you can back out without paying the other party's
expenses is, I think different. After an Englishman's word is his bond -
except when buying a house.
