Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
