    I'm almost sale agreed for a detached house which is in an estate known to have pyrite issues. The agent said it has a green cert and it never had pyrite issues.

    How do you know if work has been done to fix pyrite before getting the cert?

    Thank you!

    It should have the stone infill sample testing and Damage risk category cert from one of the accredited engineers. The visual survey on its own will not be adequate-it must have the stone infill sample tested too.

    Thanks for your answer Rory. I decided not to go ahead with the sale in the end and I think I made the right decision. Even though the house was nice, it was too risky. There could be issues with insurance, bank not approving, resale value etc.
