Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
