Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
