Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
