The short answer

Conveyancing in Perth, in 30 seconds

The law
Scotland has its own property law. A Scottish solicitor handles the purchase, and the deal is agreed by an exchange of letters called missives.
The Home Report
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 £231,646 it is £1,733, or £1,133 with first-time buyer relief.
Timings
Once missives conclude, the deal is binding, much like exchange in England.
