We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
