We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
