We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
