Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
