We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
