Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
