Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
