Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
