This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
