Talk to your solicitor, I've always found Scottish solicitors are very approachable. I wouldn't expect a warranty on used goods but AFAIR I had 7 days after moving in to check everything included in the purchase was in working order.

Yes, but the deleted clause in the OP's case will remove the possibility of doing this.

But surely if the seller is proposing amending the standard conditions and the buyer hasn't agreed to those yet, then the OP isn't committed to buying?

If the OP doesn't agree to their removal, and the seller insists on their removal, then the OP won't be buying the house.

Either the seller will withdraw, as the OP won't agree, or the OP will withdraw, as the seller won't agree.

I believe as stated already, under Scottish law you have a very short warranty period. So if the vendor has said the heating is working, try is as soon as you move in (even in warm weather when you don't need heating) and if it does not work, the vendor will have to fix it. But this is only a few days you get. No good waiting until September to find it does not work, that would be too late to have a claim.

Again your solicitor should be able to verify this (perhaps this warranty clause in one they are trying to remove?)

Exactly that. The warranty is nullified by removal of the clause, and explicit statement that there shall be no warranty
