Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
