Is the seller of the property required to inform the prospective buyers about the asbestos containing building materials in the building and/or home?
A. EPA does not regulate real estate transactions. Therefore, EPA does not require the seller to disclose information regarding asbestos containing building materials in the building and/or home. However, there may be state/local disclosure requirements affecting the sale of homes. For more details, please contact the real estate agency.
