If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
