SNP to prevent homeowners with gas boilers from selling
 

See you later SNP, Labour must be laughing

The Scottish National Party could soon hammer homeowners as First Minister Humza Yousaf considers plans to ban Scots from selling their properties unless they swap gas boilers for heat pumps.

The potential move would force properties to meet the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C or above at certain trigger points by 2025, including during a sale.

However, in another blow to homeowners in Scotland, the EPC ratings system will undergo further changes which will enforce stricter green standards.

The change will likely ensure properties which currently meet the C grading will be downgraded.

Possible lower scores could be handed out to large swathes of Scots with additional pressure for homeowners to install low carbon sources of heating, such as a heat pump, at a cost of up to £10,000.

EPC ratings currently consider how costly it is to heat a home.

However, reforms mean the revamped rating could also include the type of heating.

Patrick Harvie, the green zero carbon buildings minister, said the Scottish Government wanted “all homes to reach new energy efficiency standards by no later than 2033”.

Average homes do not have over £10K
for not very good - Heat Pumps

this is what happens when you share a bed with the loony greens - SNPare on their way out, forever

I thought Teresa May and her dementia tax was bad but this is literally insane especially as heat pumps do not suit every property
