Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
