Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.

Inspections of properties and household inspections are mandatory for anyone buying the house. With the rising cost of homes and the rising costs of building maintenance, it's crucial to know exactly what you're buying.
