The rules in Scotland
In Scotland, a Home Report (including a single survey) is usually produced by the seller before marketing, so buyers often commission their own independent survey alongside it for extra reassurance, especially on older or unusual properties.

Getting signed off in Scotland
In Scotland, you need a building warrant from the council before work starts, and design evidence such as SAP and overheating assessments goes in with the application. At the end you submit a completion certificate with your test reports. The council then has 14 days to accept it, and you can’t move into a new building until it does, unless the council allows temporary occupation.
