Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
