Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
