Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
