Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
