Leasehold flats are a different product from freehold houses: ground rent, service charge, and remaining term change the price. Scotland has its own missives system; this hub is England-first (London, Manchester) until a Scotland page exists.
Offers are not contracts. Gazumping is legal until exchange. Surveys (Homebuyer vs building survey) sit between offer and exchange. Foreign buyers are not banned; they pay the same SDLT bands plus the surcharge if non-resident.
