29 ASBESTOS REGISTER In a property of this age there may well be some asbestos. This was commonly used post war until it was banned only in the last ten or so years, although it is rumoured that it was still used after this point in time. It is now a requirement for any public building to have an asbestos register, indicating whether there is or is not asbestos and if so where it is. ACTION REQUIRED: An Asbestos Register should be provided by the outgoing tenant/landlord. You should note that work involving products containing asbestos is covered by Health and Safety legislation and you are recommended to seek the advice of the Local Authority Environmental Health Officer before proceeding with any such work. We are not asbestos surveyors. 29
