I am in the process of buying a 1977 house though the homebuyers survey has brought up the possibility of asbestos.
The report indicates that this could be present in the Marley floor files, soffits, flue for the fireplace (which has been blocked off) and also in the artex ceilings.
I don't plan on touching the soffits or ceiling apart from to install a smoke alarm downstairs and maybe get the spotlights taken out of the living room but should these things be cause for concern and worth getting a survey done to be sure or am I better off leaving alone as long as there are in good condition?
