Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert 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.
