Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
