Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
