There is scary and non-scary asbestos, as far as I am aware the asbestos in artex tends to be white asbestos, which is of the non-scary kind and therefore can be removed without license, just following sensible guidelines.
Removing Artex however is a pain in the arse, so I would be of the skim and forget approach, but just remember if you ever drill into the wall or rip it down.
Always worth trying to negotiate with the seller either way.

My home buyers report has come back. The artex may contain asbestos. This seems worrying. What should I do about it? My head says negotiate with seller about proving there isn't any. My gut says skim then forget.
