Is it automatically a hidden defect?
No. The Asbestos Fund identifies undisclosed asbestos as a possible hidden defect; that does not decide your case. Ask a notary or lawyer to assess the facts, contract terms and information known at the time of sale.
Did a negative report rule out all asbestos?

No obligation. Price confirmed before you agree.
