Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
