Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
