Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
