Are you looking for an Asbestos Survey in central London or the surrounding areas in Greater London? Then you will need a professional asbestos surveyor to perform the survey. At AJC Environmental, we have certified surveyors available to survey your property.
As professional asbestos consultants, we offer asbestos management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys, and asbestos removal in London.
If you are a building manager, by law you must comply with your duty to manage any existing asbestos, and to accomplish this you first need to know the location and extent of asbestos in the building. This is where the asbestos management survey comes in.
Do you plan to refurbish or demolish a building? It’s a legal requirement to have an asbestos refurbishment or demolition survey completed before any work begins. If you start work without a survey you will be putting construction workers and the public at risk, because of the potential for asbestos exposure. This can lead to heavy fines and even imprisonment.
Often, we are called to survey before a property is bought, sold, or rented.
If you buy or rent a property without knowing if asbestos is present, you are putting yourself and your family at risk. If asbestos is found after you’ve bought or rented a property, you may be responsible for its removal. Professional asbestos removal is expensive. Knowing in advance allows you to negotiate the property’s price to reflect the removal cost or ask the seller to remove it before the sale.
Mortgage lenders and insurers often require an asbestos survey before approving loans or policies. If asbestos is found late in the buying process, it can delay or even block a sale or rental agreement.
If you’re buying a property to rent or use as a business, an asbestos survey ensures the safety of tenants and workers. You have a legal duty to manage asbestos risks in commercial and rented properties.
If you’re selling a property, you might think an asbestos survey is the buyer’s concern. But getting a survey done before listing your property can work in your favour.
Buyers often request an asbestos survey as part of their due diligence. If asbestos is found at that stage, it can delay the sale or cause buyers to back out. Surveying in advance means you can deal with any issues early, ensuring a smooth transaction.
A property with a clear asbestos report is more attractive to buyers. It assures them that the property is safe, lowering hesitation and speeding up negotiations. If asbestos is found, having a management plan in place shows transparency and responsibility.
If a buyer discovers asbestos is present after making an offer, they may want to negotiate a lower price or request costly removal before proceeding. By addressing the issue beforehand, you control the sale price.
If you’re selling a commercial property or a buy-to-let, you may have a legal duty to provide information about asbestos. Failing to do this can cause legal problems and put the sale at risk.
Some lenders and insurers won’t approve a property without an asbestos survey. Having the report ready makes it easier for buyers to secure financing, making your property more attractive.
We can perform asbestos surveys and asbestos inspections on all types of residential and commercial properties, large or small, in and around London.
When completed, a few days after the survey, we provide you with a detailed asbestos report.
The report details any asbestos found in the property, the type of asbestos and recommendations for going forward, we advise if the asbestos can be safely managed, or if removal is required.
