Homebuyer and Landlord Asbestos Survey across Greater Manchester
Victorian terraces, converted cotton mills, 1960s tower blocks and post-war council estates mean asbestos turns up in almost every kind of building across Greater Manchester.
Standard building surveys often note 'possible asbestos' and advise further investigation. Our homebuyer survey is that investigation: a non-intrusive check of the whole property with samples of anything suspect sent to a UKAS-accredited lab.
Guide price: From £180.
