What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
