What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
