Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
