Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
