Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
