What does STMS mean?

I can't find a definition anywhere of what STMS means, anyone on here know?
It appears on numerous estate agent details after the acreage so it will say for example "land extends to 9 acres (STMS)".
I'm assuming it is "Subject To ..." but subject to what?

Good guesses, I did wonder if the last word was "survey" but the missing word is probably not mortgage as that wouldn't make sense for cash buyers.
Any more ideas anyone?0 -
Is this in Scotland? Could be about missives. In which case it means the same as 'sold subject to contracts'.
ETA: No, I'm changing my mind on this one. It comes up on google search in regard to the size of land i.e. 'the property comes with 2 acres (stms)'. I suspect this means that the 2 acres is an estimate and you'd need to get a survey done to measure it precisely.0 -
Subject to measured survey. God I'm bored to be pursuing this one.
