Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
