Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
