Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built 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 even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
