What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
