Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
