Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
