Broken tiles in basement have asbestos- not sure how to proceed
Hello to all!
I have an offer on a duplex in Ohio, inspection was done and the tiles in the basement are likely asbestos.
All of the forum topics I could find deal with asbestos that is not broken-
These in the basement however ARE broken in several places..
So I'm wondering if anyone has been in the situation and what they have done?
Should I ask the seller to remove the asbestos? Remove and check the rest of the house?
Should I not even bother and find another deal? The house is currently rented with two tenants.
My fear is that if I have the seller fix it.. they could still hold me liable for illness that happens later.. if it does.
Wondering if anyone else has been in the situation and what they have done? If it worked out for them or not?
Thanks!
