Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
