not worth making it an issue, especially as it’s not visible or testable as it’s not yet exposed. i only know it’s there because there was a hole in the wall of the bathroom in another flat i viewed and i poked my phone in to take a pic
I don't know much about these things, but does it present a risk to the next buyer of your place that doesn't know it's there and takes a sledgehammer to the wall without wearing PPE?

theres an asbestos chrysotile sheet lining the ceiling in a void between kitchen and bathroom on the flat we still haven’t completed on and i know we will be exposing this and a bit of studwork will need to be fixed to it.
i just expect the builder to mask up and clean up when fixing the studwork then it will never be seen again until somebody else decides to redo the bathroom.

theres also a 50’s metal door to a drying cupboard which likely has it inside, i’ll unscrew the door from the hinges and leave it at the back of the garage, problem solved and nobody gets lung disease.
