Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
