What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
