Asbestos wallpaper backing?

Bought this house, and picked up the keys around 2 months ago. Living in it while I renovate. This is all coming off soon, but this wallpaper is in other parts of the house.

Last renovated 70s/80s. There is asbestos vinyl tile in the kitchen that they’ve already covered up (botch job so I’ll have to remove the tile they put over).

I am worried that the wallpaper has asbestos in it. This and only in the cellar kitchen, and going up near the stairs to the first floor.

Victorian townhouse.

Family can’t accept me

Long story short. I started T in late 2024. I started looking good, and my voice started to drop. I changed my name. Had a (botched) top surgery. I felt great.

My family cried and told me I was making the wrong decision. I wasn’t accepted in society and my only alive parent, my Dad, blocked me when I told him I am trans. I was in the worst relationship with a trans girl who was abusing me, and kept making snide comments about my hips being wide or other similar comments.

I detransitioned completely this January.

Now, I have moved to a small Welsh valley and people aren’t accepting of trans people. My family still tells everyone my name is *dead name*. I am struggling. It feels so heavy. So hard to breathe clearly, to think clearly and to be happy. I want to transition again so badly, but I fear the loneliness will eat me up again.

Sorry, I just had to rant somewhere. I’m struggling, and I have nobody to speak to about this because they’ll cut me off.

Ready to exchange… but no exchange?

Buyer here, that has everything in place. I have paid for completion fees, singed all contracts, searches are all back and mortgage balance ready to be requested at exchange.

Other side’s solicitors are not providing us with a completion date at all. Last week we provided them with this Friday as a completion date, but we have heard nothing at all from the other side. What can I do to get this through any faster please? Both sides are ready!

EDIT: FTB buyer of an empty property, seller moved into a new home months ago.

What are people’s experiences buying in historic mining areas please? There is a mine entry about 4 streets away from the house I am in the process of buying, and the solicitor said a coal mining search is likely to be requested by the lender. Thank you.
