What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

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