Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
