Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
