It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
