On Rightmove, is there is a difference between Under Offer and Sold, Subject to Contract when you are looking at properties?

I would assume that the difference is whether or not surveys and/or legal representation have been instructed.
Of course, it is all down to whether the EA has updated it properly, if at all.0 -
I can't see theres any difference.
My flat went straight to sold STC the day after my offer was accepted.0 -
Hi Pollyanna,
These are set by the agents so it means whatever the agent wants to.
However, in my opinion 'under offer' should mean that the property is still on the market whilst 'sstc' should mean it is not.0 -

Thanks everyone. This is the way I saw it as well, but wasn't sure if it was actually done this way.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

The house I'm buying has Sold STC on the rightmove ad0

A local EA uses both terms so I rang about a house "under offer" only to find that even to that EA they amount to the same thing and that the house was off the market.0
-
I bought and sold recently, the Right Move ad's said "under offer" until the survey's had been done then they were changed to SSTC.

I always thought that the sign "SSTC" appears only after the exchange. But now I guess it depends on EA...0
