Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
