What does this mean?

If a house is listed online as sold subject to contract for 2 months and then is removed from the estate agents website then does this mean the house has sold/exchanged or what?
Thanks

It would mean they've exchanged or completed. Someone new owns it.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Or the buyer has pulled out and left them so traumatised by the whole selling experience that they've withdrawn the house from the market.
But my vote is for doozergirl's answer.0 -
Couldnt it just mean the house is still under offer but the person making the offer has ordered that all traces of the house be removed from online?I am not a financial expert, and the post above is merely my opinion.:j0

In our neck of the woods it stays on the website as sold subject to contract then it dissappears on the day of completion.
Two months sounds very right for that kind of transaction0 -

It could mean that, yes. But that is less likely than the other explanation. EAs and vendor's don't usually take orders from buyers. And 2 months sounds more like the time to get to completion than the time until the buyer starts throwing a tantrum.0 -
When we put our offer in, it was subject to the house being taken off the Market. In our previous purchase that meant having a STC flag on it. This time they took us literally and deleted it!!0

OP, what's so difficult about phoning the EA and asking if the house is still available / sold / removed from market?0
-
Ours went SSTC when our offer was accepted, and disappeared entirely from RM when we exchanged contracts.0
