Rules for new builds and self-builds in Scotland
For a new home in Scotland, windows and doors are part of the building warrant for the build: they must average 1.6 W/m²K across all windows, doors and rooflights, with no single unit worse than 3.3. The house itself needs planning permission.
VAT: supply and fitting by a VAT-registered contractor in the construction of a new home is normally zero-rated, so new-build guide prices are shown without VAT; supply-only purchases carry 20% VAT, which self-builders can usually reclaim through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme.
How it works
You will know exactly what you are buying: the quote states the unit build-up, frame, finish, fitting work and how Building Regulations compliance is handled. On fitting day each opening is replaced and closed up before the team moves on.
