What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
