Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
