Asbestos in West Lothian: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

• You’re responsible for identifying and managing any asbestos on your property, especially before selling or starting building work. Having an asbestos report in West Lothian gives buyers confidence and could help speed up the sale.

• There’s no legal requirement for a residential asbestos survey, but if you're selling a house built before 2000, it's strongly advised. Commercial buildings, however, must have an asbestos management survey in place.

For renters:

• Landlords are legally responsible for asbestos management in rented properties. If you suspect asbestos (e.g. flaking Artex ceilings or old pipe lagging), report it to your landlord or property manager immediately.

Some landlords may arrange:

• An asbestos house survey
• Air monitoring or material sampling
• Safe removal (if required)

If you're not getting the support you need, speak to your local council or environmental health team.
