Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
