There are some basic differences in self build procedures for England and Scotland. For example, in the former the Contract self build house is legally binding towards the end of the house buying process. In Scotland, it happens at a relatively early stage. Unlike England, where you make the offer to the estate agent, you shouldn't make an offer in Scotland unless it's through your solicitor.

If you are buying a property in Scotland with the proceeds of a property in England, your English solicitor must push the sale through as quickly as possible, as you are committed to a property in Scotland so much quicker. Furthermore, you need to use a separate, UK solicitor, as Scotland has a separate legal system.

You need to keep in mind that for build house Scotland self, the contract in Scotland is in the form of a series of letters. These are known as missives, and are signed by both the buyer and the sellers' solicitors. Should the offer be accepted on all points, then you are in a legally binding contract with neither party able to withdraw without being held completely liable for any consequent losses for the other party.
