Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
