What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
