Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner or potential buyer in Devon, it's natural to have concerns about the presence of asbestos in a property. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were widely used in building construction until the 1980s, and they can still be found in many homes and buildings today. But will a homebuyer's survey cover asbestos in Devon? In this article, we'll explore what a homebuyer's survey typically includes and how it relates to asbestos.

A homebuyer's survey is a report that provides an assessment of a property's condition, highlighting any potential issues or defects. The survey is usually conducted by a qualified surveyor who will inspect the property's interior and exterior, including the roof, walls, floors, and services such as plumbing and electrics. The survey will typically cover aspects such as:

• The condition of the building's structure and fabric
• Any signs of dampness or water damage
• The condition of the roof and chimneys
• The state of the electrical and plumbing systems
• Any signs of pest or rodent infestation

While a homebuyer's survey will cover many aspects of a property's condition, it may not specifically include a detailed asbestos survey. However, a surveyor may note the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) if they are visible during the inspection. It's essential to note that asbestos can be hidden behind walls, in ceilings, or under floorboards, so a standard homebuyer's survey may not detect all instances of asbestos.
