Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
