Black plastic pipe: You should 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
