Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
