Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home 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 pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
