Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
