It was the mortgage Surveryor. Yes it does need to be removed.Who did the survey?
Looks quite likely.
Does it need to be moved?
Hard to say off the photo. It costs a small amount to have a test done and that is the only way to confirm it.
If there is any doubt at all, then treat it like it is asbestos.
Never heard of suspected asbestos.
If it's been tested, it either is, or isn't.
It certainly looks like it, so dont touch it.
Regards

Phoning around now for someone to test and remove tank - gonna cost!Have you paid someone to come out and test it for you. It looks likely but you can never tell unless actually tested.
You're not wrong about it costing a small amount! Then to pay for removal on top :'( gonna need to rob a bank lolHard to say off the photo. It costs a small amount to have a test done and that is the only way to confirm it.

Thank you Simon so much for all the info. I've found a company to test the tank. Knocked them down from ÂŁ162 to ÂŁ80! Not as great as your deal but I'm rather happy with my haggling skills They're coming tomorrow morning and will get results in the afternoon. Appreciate you getting in touch xThat's the one I used.
Perhaps I'm just the unlucky one! My house is unsaleable until asbestos is removed. I've had do a lot of work on the property (a Victorian house) just to meet current building regs!! The loft bedroom had to be marketed as a loft room as it doesn't meet building regs to be classed as a bedroom anymore. Good news for those in the build game I guess! xSo are house mortgage surveyors now going to be insisting that ALL asbestos be removed before a mortgage can be granted?
That'll potentially mean some houses may be unsaleable.
Imagine a house with Asbestos;
Guttering
Downpipes
Soil Stack
Artex
Asbestos Floor tiles.
