Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
