Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
