Although there is no legal requirement for you to carry out a domestic asbestos survey, there is still a chance that asbestos is present in a domestic property and this can complicate the buying and selling of your home.
Often, regular building surveyors will incorrectly presume that there is asbestos present in a building because of suspect materials that were used to build it. This can lead to a devaluation of your property or it becoming undesirable to potential buyers. Of course, you don’t want this to happen and it can be avoided by commissioning a full asbestos survey for your home. It will also allow you to get a head start on any work that needs to be done to manage potential asbestos issues before they can be used against you.
