Things to Consider Before Buying a Property Built Pre-1980
When considering purchasing a property built before 1980, it’s crucial to understand the potential risks associated with older buildings. Properties from this era may contain hazardous materials, such as asbestos and lead paint. Being informed about these risks can help you make better decisions regarding your investment. Understanding Asbestos Risks Asbestos was widely used in construction materials before its ban in the UK. It can be found in items like insulation, ceiling tiles, and floor tiles. If disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne and pose serious health risks. Before finalising your purchase, it’s wise to get an asbestos survey.
