Asbestos report for a French property sale
Reviewing an asbestos report for a French property sale starts with the building-permit date, report date and inspected areas. Check inaccessible locations and later renovations, rather than relying on the first-page conclusion. This document checklist prepares questions for a qualified surveyor. It cannot identify asbestos from photographs or tell you how to sample, remove or work on a material.
