Having your offer accepted on a home is an achievement worth celebrating; but the hard work isn’t over yet. In fact, it’s just begun. As soon as a home is sold, it will be listed as ‘SSTC’, so let’s take a look at what this means and what comes next.
What does SSTC stand for?
‘SSTC’ means that the home has been ‘sold subject to contract’. The seller has accepted the offer, but the agreement is not yet legally binding. While a home is listed as SSTC, the buyer and seller are in the conveyancing process and this label will remain unchanged until the deal becomes legally binding. Until the point of exchange of contracts, both the seller and buyer can pull out of the sale without any legal repercussions.

As you will be aware, the renters right bill was published on Wednesday giving details of a new tenancy regime in England. It covers a wide range of issues that are prevalent to the rental sector with the main headlines being:
The removal of fixed term tenancy agreements – this will entail all new tenancies being a periodic tenancy with tenants able to stay in their home until they decide to end the tenancy by giving 2 months’ notice.
The removal of no-fault evictions (section 21 notice) - this will remove the ability for a landlord to simply evict a tenant without good reason and give tenants more security of being evicted from their home.

Mortgage rates are starting to fall as competition among lenders heats up ahead of the Bank of England's upcoming rate decision. According to a survey carried out among economists, they predict that the first interest rate cut in more than four years will take place next week.
The Impact of Intense Competition
The decrease in mortgage rates is primarily driven by intense competition among lenders. As banks and building societies vie for a greater share of the market, they are offering more attractive deals to entice borrowers. This competitive environment is beneficial for potential homebuyers and those looking to remortgage, as it provides a broader range of options and the possibility of securing lower interest rates.
