SSTCM (Sold Subject to Conclusion of Missives)
It means an offer has been accepted but the formal exchange of legally binding contracts (“conclusion of missives”) hasn’t happened yet. Equivalent to “Sold STC” in England/Wales.
SSTC (Sold Subject to Contract)
The most common status in England/Wales. A buyer’s offer has been accepted, but the legal contract exchange hasn’t taken place yet. Until exchange, either party can still withdraw.
Reserved
Usually seen in new-build developments. A buyer has put down a reservation fee to hold the property while contracts are drawn up. It’s not legally binding, but it means the developer takes it off the open market.
Under Offer
An offer has been made by a buyer and accepted by the seller, but contracts have not yet been exchanged. The property is technically still at risk of the sale falling through. Some agents use “Under Offer” and “Sold STC” interchangeably.
Invisible
It means the property listing is hidden from public portals/websites (e.g. withdrawn, archived, or not yet marketed).
Available
The property is actively for sale, open to new offers, and listed publicly.
Sale Completed
The transaction has been legally finalised, ownership transferred, and confirmed through Land Registry. This status only comes from Land Registry records (not agents), meaning it’s fully verified. Because of registration delays, this status can lag behind SSTC by a significant period.
