What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
