What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
