We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
