Default 1970s Soffits - Asbestos?

I recently had a quote from reputable up can Windows etc firm for replacements
of soffits and facias down pipes and gutters. It was going to be £5300 for a
detached 6x9 metre house with attached garage. They took a sample of soffits
and came back to me saying that it would need to be removed professionally at
a unmentioned extra cost.. I have cancelled the whole work.
Now, knowing it is there how would this affect the sale of my house ? Would a
surveyor know what was there by just looking round the house?
