Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
