The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
