Don't ask us - ask your solicitor tomorrow morning.

I take it date of entry is 1 Oct - have missives been concluded for the sale?

Look at this page for the 'standard clauses' relating to sales in Scotland - pick the one appropriate to your area, and look for the equivalent of paras 5 and 6 from the Edinburgh version - I think the relevant points are in bold below
