Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
