Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your 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 caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
