Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
