• You can save time by having an asbestos survey done ahead of time to put potential buyers’ minds at ease

• It demonstrates your proactive responsibility as a seller

• The price of an asbestos survey is relatively small and can have big benefits

  Also, it’s worth remembering that even properties built after 1999 can have asbestos in older materials or renovations.

• Management survey – This is the standard survey that identifies and locates asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that are likely to be disturbed or damaged.
