This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
