What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
