Asbestos roof on a garage

[anonymous-user]

I have just bought a house In the UK, and it has an asbestos garage roof, can someone tell me, if I can, simply leave this alone or do I need to replace it? What should I budget to replace a flat one car garage asbestos roof and garage door?
Story is the property is an investment and my daughter will use it when she goes to uni, I haven’t seen the house but my mate has and he keeps going on about the garage roof being asbestos like it’s a huge problem. Cash purchase so no problem with the mortgage company or anything like that just a simple question of if I am under an obligation to replace it, I thought it was Ok to leave in place as long as I never touched it

Thanks, been 20 years since I had a UK house and I thought maybe the law had changed, I've bought a house that has been emty, lady died intestate as I do not need to move in and can do it up over period, mainly redecorating I got a gteat price, it had new windows roof etc, did not want the expense of replacing the roof if it is usable, I appreciate the point that in the long term it is worth changing as aselling point.
