Confused. Is it a legal requirement to have an asbestos survey before letting a property? Thanks
Not specifically, but you might be in trouble if you know/suspect there is asbestos present and you don’t have a survey.
Thank you David. Understood. I just found it confusing as Rent smart Wales say it is a ‘requirement’ but the risk assessment needs to be carried out by a ‘competent person’
I don’t suspect asbestos to be present; it is not an old property. Yet another added cost to a growing list just to become licensed.
Sorry, I didnt realise you were in Wales, which has many of its own laws. You would need to check with a Welsh housing lawyer or landlords association.
Yes, I’m thinking the same now to be on the safe side. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
