We had asbestos removed when we moved in, but I think there’s still some behind one of the finished walls of the basement and might be more elsewhere. I’m sure there’s lead paint given the age of the house, but we haven’t had it tested. In our old house our agent gave us the required form to sign that said we didn’t know if there was lead paint in the house. I told her I wouldn’t sign it because we’d had the entire house tested. Most of the house was actually clean because the previous owners had stripped the downstairs windows and doors and had replaced all the exterior plaster walls with new gyp board. Upstairs we’d stripped the kid’s room and the hall. So for a house its age (1914) it was actually had much less paint than you’d expect.
