I know asbestos wasn't officially banned until year 1999. However, how likely would a house built in 1995 contain asbestos, is it likely or was the dangers realised by then and stopped using it, or has anyone come across it on houses built in this period?

It's possible but usually it would be in the 'usual' places - AIB or cement boards.
If in doubt leave alone or test

I think it was built by leech homes or persimmon

which one
don't know Leech but I know Persimmon. Why do you ask , which parts do you think might contain asbestos. Could be asbestos cement board as undecloak to roof verges .I feel sure it was built by leech homes and was bought out by persimmon. Maybe you are right about the cement verge undercloak. I did contact a asbestos surveyor about it and said it would be unlikely but I still think I might be worth a test?

Good point, what are you intending doing anyway Thomas ?
Planning to do an extension and it would mean demolishing the garage where the undercloaks are
Back to the subject, has anyone come across asbestos on 90s builds?

If it wasn't banned until 1999 it is quite possible it was still used as asbestos cement board in 1995 ,POSSIBLY as undercloak to pitched roof verges.

I will have to get a test done on it, it’s the only way

Correct, because whether anybody has come across it in 1990's builds still wouldn't tell you what has been used on your garage.DIYnot Local
