wasn't saying it would have necessarily helped in this instance, hope the rider makes a swift and full recovery

Not uncommon in Artex of days of old... leave it up and paint over and it'll do you no harm

Are the ceilings artex, that has asbestos in? They are fine all the time they left alone, it's the asbestos dust so I wouldn't go removing it, you will need a specialised company to do that.
Have they accepted your offer, this could be leverage to reduce the buying price, get quotes for asbestos removal and ask for that to be taken off the price. If you are going to do that, get it done before you move in. Good luck with that.

It was on the A3 a few weeks back with a (certain lucky girl) near the robinhood roundabout. There is a layby 200 yards before it, london bound and they are sitting there for a few months by all accounts. They are also doing the soutbound on the same spot once they have knicked someone the other side! I was just leaving paying it as late as I could, I jad 28 days so gave it 25, that way they had to wait for their doughnuts

The survey just says 'the property has textured ceiling coatings. In properties of this age, such coatings could contain asbestos.'
The offer has been accepted, mortgage arranged etc etc, just waiting for the solicitors to do their bit and agree a completion date.
My understanding is that as long as we don't mess with it, it will be ok. Hmm, might go back for a second viewing and check the condition of the ceilings.
