Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
