Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
