Asbestos surveys across Greater London.

Property purchase & sale

Buying or selling in Greater London: has your RICS or building survey flagged suspected asbestos?

Local property context: Greater London's combined Crown estate, council housing, NHS sites, commercial cores and Victorian conversion stock together make up the densest asbestos workload in the UK. Building age and appearance alone do not confirm asbestos. A building survey recommendation is not a laboratory result. Send or upload the relevant asbestos extract, property address, material location and planned works. Elements can advise whether bulk sampling, a management survey, targeted refurbishment/R&D or another appropriate asbestos scope matches the recommendation. Obtain the owner's permission before sampling and distinguish private-flat from communal access. Your solicitor or lender decides whether the evidence answers their request; acceptance is not guaranteed.
