Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
