What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
