You had better check your credit status too. Often properties are black listed. You should have checked this out before you signed anything as it could really adversely affect your future credit rating. This may have a massive impact on your ability to get a mortgage in the future for example.
Make sure you change the locks and put extra security on too for your peace of mind.
I think if you have signed a contract, this is worth going to see the Citizen's Advice (CAB) about too on the credit rating issues, the legality of the contract (if the house is deemed dangerous to health) and on the process in which to have it cleaned and charged to the landlord.

There are several dangers to living in a house that was used to cook drugs.
The main danger to you is a risk to your health. Meth labs, which do cook to make the drug, can cause major damage to the house as the drug itself as it cooks permeates throughout the house. Meth is quite toxic to begin with and causes several lung conditions if not death. If you suspect it was a cookhouse contact your local police service, and environmental agency. As if it is a cookhouse it will have to be decontaminated, as it is an environmental and health danger

The police with axes could come bouncing through the windows if they don`t know that the owners have changed
Apart from that i do not think there are dangers
unless you start licking the floor
but that is unhealthy in any house.

Check with your fire department or police to see, if it was a drug house you definitely don't want to live there at any price.
Had two friends who brought some things home from a place that had been used for meth and two of three of them died of mysterious physical ailments (mainly resperatory) that they never had prior...pass on the place.

It's interesting that it wasn't condemned. Usually the smell alone warrants that.
I would ask your landlord about it. Then again if you signed a lease stating that you are aware of the chemical hazards in the home than you might not have much to go on.

You may have flagged some flag somewhere by posting the question. Your email and other communications may be more heavily monitored now.

There can actually be residual toxins left in the carpets, walls, and ceiling. If it was meth you are in immediate danger.

Drive by shootings from your competitors and late night shoppers ringing your doorbell.
