What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
