The Scottish Government aims to deliver good quality, sustainable and affordable housing, with appropriate housing management and support services. In addition, it is addressing the problem of fuel poverty.
Reform of buying and selling system
Would-be house buyers will save money and get greater peace of mind under Scottish Government plans for a greener and more informed housing market.
From December 1, 2008 properties for sale will have to be marketed with information, now branded as the 'Home Report'.
The Home Report, commissioned by the seller, will provide prospective buyers with detailed information about the condition and value of the property before offers are made.
To find out more, read the Home Report section.
