We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
