Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
