Properties built pre-2000 may contain asbestos in certain materials used in their construction or in subsequent building work. Examples of these materials are; Artex, vinyl tiles, sheet boards, corrugated roofing, pipework and lagging/insulation. These are generally considered safe unless disturbed but prospective buyers must take their own advice. We have noted the presence of corrugated roofing but, as no survey has been carried out, we cannot comment in respect of asbestos potentially elsewhere.
