I do not think that the House would want to be misinformed. The Scottish system has recently been upgraded, so that now one must put in an expression of interest. All those expressions of interest are then sifted by the buyer, who accepts one offer. That offer is binding, subject only to survey, and so the system of all the buyers having to do a survey is no longer current in Scotland.
