Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
