Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through 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 may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
