If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
