Cash? Sounds dodgy.
Either way, make sure in writing what you are expected to receive in terms of report. For all you know, you could merely get a phone call and nothing reliable.
Asbestos in walls or ceilings?

What are you worried about particularly? Unless you're about to smash it about it's fine.
Well eventually we will take out both fire places, and probably smash the ceiling to smithereens
Here are pictures of the two biggest rooms, the master bedroom and the living room:
notice that coving on the top in the living room - bit worried about that having something nasty in there, as well as the ceilings
Goodbye to the dado rail - the rooms need a bit of TLC
I'm torn about the fireplaces but actually I like the idea of more room

I would open up the fire place & have a wood burner or multifuel fire in there.
That picture rail, so old fashioned today, coving might just be plaster, or paper covered foam type.

Eventually I plan to go for under floor heating downstairs
upstairs radiators
picture rail very happy to remove it
I think the same process for removal of non licenced asbestos is what any normal person would do just for the dust anyway.
I don't know what testing will tell you?

well just to know if there is asbestos in there or not
peace of mind oc
Where do you draw the line?
Asbestos has been used in many products over the years, artex, tiles, flooring, roofing, water tanks, cylinder insulation covering,etc,etc, even some paints had it.
If you find it, it will cost thousands to remove it, need an approved removal contractor, so much grief, just be sensible, wear the correct mask for dust, eye protection, etc.

When you knock the chimney out are you going to get that tested? God knows what has been burnt in there.
