Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
