Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
