Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
