Sellers of domestic properties in the UK must declare asbestos when selling a property. If they do not declare it , yet knew it was there then this is an offence. Proving this can be difficult , therefore Asbestos Surveys are an ideal solution to cover yourself when buying a home which was built before the year 2000.


Standard homebuyer surveys can point out what materials may contain asbestos but they the surveyors are not specialists in asbestos and cannot confirm the presence of asbestos.


Don't let potential asbestos put you off buying a home in Nottingham or Derby - let Surv-Tec survey the property and find out for sure!

What is included in a Homebuyer Asbestos Survey?

Homebuyer asbestos surveys are carried out to identify any asbestos containing materials within a domestic property. This is normally done at the negotiation stage. Lenders may also request an asbestos survey be carried out prior to them lending you the money to buy an older home.

The survey is carried out to identify asbestos containing materials which could be disturbed or damaged during normal occupation and covers any foreseeable maintenance and repair works.


A standard Asbestos Pre-Purchase Survey includes:

  • A minimally intrusive inspection of the property with samples collected of suspected materials
  • BOHS P402 Qualified Surveyor 
  • UKAS accredited laboratory analysis of samples taken from the property 
  • A comprehensive Asbestos Report which includes any asbestos identified including the condition , type and extent. 
  • Recommendations on how to deal with the asbestos going forward. 

 


Does asbestos de-value a property?

Asbestos can affect the property prices yes. The cost of asbestos removal may be negotiated by the seller if asbestos is found. This does depend on the type , extent and condition of the asbestos though. It is advisable for sellers to get their own survey carried out before putting the property on the market , so that they have the choice how to deal with asbestos if it is identified.

What age of building can contain asbestos?

Any property built before the year 2000 could contain asbestos.
The use of asbestos was banned in 1999.

Whilst a normal homebuyer survey can point out what the surveyor thinks may contain asbestos , it is not normally practice for samples to be taken to confirm this. Specialist Asbestos Survey companies will identify materials which could contain asbestos and take samples to be analysed for confirmation.

Do sellers have to provide an asbestos report for UK homes?

Sellers have to declare any asbestos contained within the property they are selling - if they are aware of it.
