What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
