We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
