What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
