Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
