My estate agent has just called to say that the buyer's building
society survey report has come back saying that there are "traces of
asbestos" in my property and a separate special investigation by an
environmental services company is required. Consequently, a man is
coming later this week.

Is this where I should really start panicking?

Of course not.

I am, though. I'm sure my BP is now higher than it was an hour ago.

That's normal with selling a house. If it wasn't asbestos it would be
subsidence/rising damp/flooding/name your favourite problem. I worry too
but there's nothing you can do but wait and see what the other side do
first.
