Asbestos
- Asbestos can be dangerous to health if inhaled leading to cancer.
- Asbestos safety reports may be required by a lender prior, to or as a condition of, granting a mortgage.
- Regardless of any such requirement it is prudent to conduct a risk assesment.
- Older properties are less likely to be affected but any past renovation may have included asbestos in the construction.
