Asbestos remains a significant health risk, particularly in older buildings across Barnet. Landlords must be proactive in identifying and managing asbestos to safeguard tenants and comply with legal requirements. Asbestos, when disturbed, can release harmful fibers that cause serious lung conditions, such as asbestosis and cancer.

Legal Responsibilities for Landlords

Landlords in Barnet are bound by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, which mandate the proper management of asbestos in non-domestic properties, including shared areas of residential buildings. These responsibilities include:

• Conducting a professional asbestos survey to locate and assess the condition of any asbestos.
• Developing an asbestos management plan to minimize risks.
• Regular monitoring and ensuring asbestos is handled correctly during renovations or repairs.

Non-compliance with these legal duties can lead to severe financial and legal consequences, as well as posing health risks to building occupants.
