CONT

Once all these matters have been agreed to the satisfaction of the parties, they are said to have reached agreement "subject to contract". The agreement will not be binding until there has been a formal exchange of contracts. This means that, although the parties have agreed in principle and may have spent significant sums of money on legal fees, search fees, fees to the lender, either party may withdraw from the transaction.
