Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
