Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
