What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
