What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
