Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
