Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
