Sellers must provide a Home Report, which includes a survey and valuation, before a home is marketed.
The tax
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) replaces stamp duty. At £161,163 it is £323, or £0 with first-time buyer relief.
Timings
Once missives conclude, the deal is binding, much like exchange in England.
