Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
