Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
