This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
