We have just had our survey report. The house we are buying has a garage at the end of the garden. We intend to use it for storage.
The survey says "the garage is in dilapidated condition requiring extensive repair.
The asbestos cement coverings to the garage roof are deteriorating. They represent a health hazard."
I am waiting to talk to the surveyor, but wondered in the meantime if you clever lot had any advice.
If we just use it for storage, going in there occasionally to get things, will it be OK?
If the children are playing in the garden, would they be at risk from the asbestos?
If we tried to get a new roof, would the roofer be able to put one onto a 'dilapidated' building?
thanks
