Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
