Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
