It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
