Home Report in
Scotland from 1st December 2008
From 1 December 2008 properties for sale in Scotland will have to be
marketed with information, now branded as the ‘Home Report’.
The Home Report contains a Single
Survey, an Energy Report and a Property Questionnaire. Full
details can be found on the
Home Report web site A sample of the energy report can be seen
here.
It is clear that having an efficient heating system and a house with
good insulation will result in a more favourable energy performance
certificate. It remains to be seen whether this will be reflected
in house prices as the new system rolls out late in 2008.

The Planning Scotland Act 2006 is a fundamental overhaul of the
planning legislation in Scotland. Over the next couple of years
this new legislation may well have an impact on the planning
requirements for renewable sources of energy. The details can be
