Yes, it is common for solicitors involved in property transactions to inquire about asbestos during the conveyancing process. Purchaser’s solicitors typically ask for confirmation that an asbestos risk assessment has been conducted on the property. They may request to see evidence of the assessment as part of their due diligence. The absence of an asbestos risk assessment or the presence of asbestos-related issues identified in the assessment could potentially impact the sale of the property. If the seller has not conducted an asbestos survey, it may raise concerns about the safety of the property and could lead to delays or complications in the transaction. To facilitate a smooth sale, it is advisable for sellers to proactively address asbestos concerns, conduct a thorough asbestos house survey if necessary, and provide relevant documentation to the purchaser’s solicitors during the conveyancing process. This transparency helps build trust and ensures that all parties are well-informed about potential asbestos risks associated with the property.
