Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
