Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
