There's a bit at the bottom about it. It's usually if the survey meant the system couldn't be checked at the time of inspection. I'm guessing if it had been checked they would just have knocked a bit off the price and written "central heating broken" in the report? Not too sure. But most people I know who've bought a flat in Scotland have followed the 5 day rule, and also managed to get money towards repairs
Read what the guy put the law on buying a house with a fault is different in scotland if you cant put anything constructive why bother replying
On my house I had the 5-7 day clause for inspection of central heating, mine had a couple of leaky pipes which needed fixed, the seller agreed to it without problem.
The advice I posted above in red implies that only applies if the specific clause is in the Contract.
