If a buyer is concerned about asbestos in a property, what should they look for?

  1. Only worry if the asbestos is airborne.

  2. Ensure home was inspected for Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI).

  3. Check the age of the property as asbestos was banned in the 1980s.

  4. Seek professional assessment and removal if asbestos is suspected.

The correct answer is: Seek professional assessment and removal if asbestos is suspected.

When a buyer is concerned about asbestos in a property, it is crucial for them to seek professional assessment and removal if asbestos is suspected. Asbestos can be harmful when disturbed or damaged, releasing fibers into the air that can be inhaled and lead to serious health issues. Therefore, it is vital to have a qualified professional inspect the property for any asbestos-containing materials and to handle the removal process if necessary. Option A is incorrect because asbestos can still pose a risk even if it is not airborne, as it can become airborne when disturbed. Option B is incorrect as Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) is a different concern and not directly related to asbestos. Option C is incorrect as although asbestos was banned in the 1980s, buildings constructed before the ban may still contain asbestos-containing materials. The age of the property alone is not a reliable indicator of the presence of asbestos.
