Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
