What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
