Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
