In this episode of Commercial Property Investing Explained Simply, Andrew Bean and Steve Palise chat with Tim Unwin, a licensed asbestos assessor from All Clear Group, about what investors need to know when it comes to asbestos in commercial buildings.

We cover:

• What asbestos actually is and why it was so widely used in Australian buildings
• Where it’s commonly found in commercial properties (including the places you wouldn’t expect)
• How to identify it—and when testing is necessary
• What the law says—asbestos registers, management plans, and compliance requirements
• The cost of removal—when it’s necessary, what it involves, and how much it could set you back
• How asbestos affects property values—does it scare off buyers, or can it create opportunities?
• The legal risks—why failing to comply with asbestos regulations can lead to massive fines (or worse)

Meet Tim Unwin

Tim is a licensed asbestos assessor and founder of All Clear Group, a leading asbestos consulting firm in NSW. He specialises in asbestos testing, sampling, registers, and management plans for commercial property owners.

With years of experience, Tim has seen it all—hidden asbestos nightmares, million-dollar miscalculations, and investors who either panic too soon or don’t act when they should.

And just for fun, Steve throws Tim a curveball about surviving in a sperm suit in the sweltering Aussie heat don’t miss Tim’s laugh-out-loud response.
