What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
