Thousands of homeowners face renovation bills of more than £10,000 to sell as a result of new Scottish Government energy rules.
Zero Carbon Buildings minister Patrick Harvie has said new regulations requiring houses to have an EPC energy rating of C or above will be introduced in 2025 – with full compliance expected by 2033.
But over half of Scotland’s housing stock is below a C rating and there are mounting fears of a major property scandal as the £33billion upgrade cost is pushed on to homeowners.
