Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
