Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
