Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
