It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
