Can a home report legally prevent a sale?
Absence of it will.
A home report must be provided by law for a residential property to be advertised for sale in Scotland (with a few exceptions). Solicitors and estate agents wouldn't handle a property without it if it's required as they'd be liable for the fine:
The Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 (Amount of Penalty Charge) Regulations 2007 The person responsible for marketing a house must have a Home Report and must give a copy to any potential buyer who asks for it. Anyone who does not do this may get a penalty charge notice from an authorised officer of a local authority. In cases like this, the regulations prescribe a penalty charge of £500.

What about auction sales, which are implicitly 'buyer beware', even if
there is a legal pack ?.
