Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into 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 mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
