What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
