Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
