The mortgage lender is responsible only for assuring that the value of the home is sufficient to back the loan, unless state regulation places additional responsibilities on them. Unless the state has required that the seller test for and reveal whether or not asbestos is present, it is the buyer's responsibility to identify such issues before the sale is closed and to seek either lower price or removal of the material by the seller. Identifying such problems is the function of the Engineering inspection that the potential buyer should obtain as a condition of proceding with the sale.
