What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
