There are thousands of people who are keen to either get on the first rung of the property ladder or climb their way up a little further, but along with all the various concerns that go with buying a new property, one that you should consider adding to the list is that of asbestos compensation.
After recently talking to a friend who called me up and said, "I've been considering buying a house, I love everything about it the aesthetics, the location, the price - but I have just been told that it contains asbestos in the ceiling, do you think I should go ahead and buy it?" I thought that perhaps this is an issue that needs addressing.
Firstly, it is vital that you get your new home surveyed to make sure that it is safe to live in and make sure you are not at any immediate risk of sustaining personal injury or illness. In the event that any potential problems are discovered you take the appropriate action.
My advice to my friend was that she should steer well clear but that's not always so easy, as a number of older properties are constructed using building materials containing asbestos. Some key areas to look out for are:
While these may not pose any immediate threat, all it takes is for a pin to be pushed into a wall where asbestos lurks beneath for poisonous dust to be released and inhaled.
Even more disturbing is the amount of time that it takes for signs of asbestosis and other asbestos-related diseases to be recognised. Failure to realise that asbestos has been released into your home could mean that you, your children and any guests are exposed to dangerous fibres for an extended period.
What's more, anyone who sustains an asbestos-related illness as a result of being exposed to asbestos in your home, particularly if they are renting from you, may be within their rights to make a compensation claim against you for asbestos compensation.
