Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
