Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
