Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
