There are asbestos vinyl tiles under the carpet (~1500 sqft) in the house. The seller is giving some credit to install hardwood floor. Should we purchase this house? Thank you!
Thanks! Could you explain a little more? We are still concerned about these for health reason. We suspect there are more vinyl tiles under floor in other areas of this house. The credit given is not enough to install hardwood floor for all these 1500 sqft area. When we remove the carpet and install hardwood floor above these tiles, we could disturb the asbestos and make it airborne. We are also not sure whether hardwood floor is a good solution to encapsulate the asbestos. To remove these tiles, it is very very costly. The basement used to have these tiles as well. Due to water damage, these tiles were removed but the black glue is still there, which may contain asbestos. Is it common to have these asbestos vinyl tiles in living area in the older houses?

Thank you all! We need to make the decision very soon. Home inspection was done but more inspections are needed. There are not many houses in our price range in this area.After considering some factors we do not like, we are normally only interested in several houses, which other buyers are interested in as well. So, it is so tough to buy a house. For this house, if we knew the asbestos vinyl tiles in the living area before we made the offer, we would not make any offer.
