What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
