Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
