Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
