Asbestos, Real Estate, Buyers & Sellers
When it comes to buying or selling a property in the UK, the presence of asbestos can significantly impact the transaction. Understanding the implications of asbestos is crucial for both parties to ensure a smooth and safe real estate deal. Here’s what you need to know about asbestos when dealing with real estate.
Need To Know Risks!
Asbestos was commonly used in building materials up to the late 20th century. If disturbed, asbestos fibers can be released into the air and pose serious health risks, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Therefore, identifying and managing asbestos is essential before any property transaction.
The Importance of Asbestos Surveys
Before buying a property, it’s advisable to conduct an asbestos survey. This survey will determine if asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present, their condition, and the potential costs for removal or containment. Sellers might also consider an asbestos survey to resolve any issues beforehand and facilitate a quicker, more transparent sale. Legally, sellers are required to disclose the presence of known asbestos. This disclosure helps protect buyers from potential liabilities and health risks. For buyers, understanding the legal standards for asbestos management and abatement is crucial when taking ownership of a property.
