What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
