It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences.
