What rights do buyers have after completion?

The Independance vote is next week.

Until then, at least, Scotland is part of the UK.

England? N Ireland?

Surely has to be a Little Englander with that sort of comprehension of the makeup of the UK.

Why are you being so harsh on them?

Their diligence about the biggest purchase of their life will mean they likely spotted the dodgy windows and mould. Unlike yourself, who were easy going and didn't spot such things when you bought the same house. The survey and subsequent negotiations are the time for such queries. Post completion will not be, unless you hid anything.

House buying and selling is stressful for a reason. The trick is to remain businesslike and unemotional. They were not criticising you personally, just making sure their house was up to modern standards.

This is so easy to forget but excellent advice. It is very stressful - particularly for first time buyers. On my mother's house the first time buyer sent through a snag list! It was a 60 year old house!! I think the young couple had been reading advice for new builds. They wanted chipped tiles replaced, a wall repainted, a new oven (!!!) and a roof tile replaced because it was the wrong shade!! They also wanted the patio relayed. We politely said no.
