Pre-sale asbestos screening
Selling a property built before 2000?
Know what is in your property before your buyer does. The Property Asbestos Passport™ gives homeowners, estate agents and conveyancers clear asbestos information before a sale progresses.
✓ Certified specialists ✓ Clear, practical reporting ✓ Packages from £149 + VAT
Designed for property sales
Clear information that can be shared with the people involved in the transaction.
Plain-English findings
A concise record without unnecessary technical complexity.
Basic or Premium
Choose a visual assessment or add targeted sampling and laboratory analysis.
Simple online booking
Request an inspection directly through the secure ServiceM8 booking page.
Clarity before completion
Remove uncertainty from your property sale.
Asbestos can be present in homes built or refurbished before 2000. Finding out about it late in a transaction can lead to extra questions, rushed decisions and avoidable delays.
A Property Asbestos Passport™ provides an informed picture of visible and accessible suspected asbestos-containing materials, together with straightforward recommendations from a specialist.
It helps you prepare before marketing the property and gives buyers and their advisers clearer information at an earlier stage.
Important: Asbestos in good condition does not always need to be removed. The right action depends on the material, its condition and whether it is likely to be disturbed.
Simple process

Designed to provide useful information without adding unnecessary complexity to your move.

Frequently asked
Questions about the passport.
Does finding asbestos stop a property sale?
No. Asbestos is common in older buildings, and its presence does not automatically prevent a sale. The condition, location and likelihood of disturbance are important. The passport helps make that information clearer.
Is this the same as a full asbestos survey?
The exact scope should be confirmed before booking. A pre-sale screening is intended to provide useful early information, but it may not replace a management survey or refurbishment and demolition survey where those are specifically required.
Will samples be taken?
Sampling depends on the agreed scope and what is found. Where a material cannot be confirmed visually, testing may be recommended or included by prior agreement.
Do all pre-2000 homes contain asbestos?
No, but asbestos may be present in domestic buildings built or refurbished before 2000. An inspection helps identify relevant materials and the next appropriate action.
How quickly will I receive the document?
Turnaround should be confirmed when you book, based on the property, inspection scope and whether laboratory analysis is required.
