Morning All
Looking to convert the existing stone farm buildings into dwellings before their deterioration gets to the point of no return. I was discussing the way forward with the land agent and he suggested, amongst other things, we would need an asbestos survey which worries me. All of the potential conversions have had asbestos roofs fitted in the past. You cannot dig a hole around the steading without unearthing a piece. Dad used to put bits of asbestos in the ruts to fill them up!
Could this be show stopper for any building conversions? What are my options with an inevitable survey failure?
Thanks.
