Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
