Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
