 Property sales - Falkirk Bairn
Scotland used to be a handshake and a contract was made. Then it was signed paperwork of acceptance of the offer and it was binding on both sides. Now it is spun out on a "subject to contract" which kicks the can 1 or 2 months down the road.

That said there are no chains in Scotland where, if 1 backs out all the rest of the sales are likely to crash.

Bigger £££ sales in Scotland now seem to have say a 10% deposit with the selling solicitor on signing and this is forfeited if the buyer backs out.
