We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
