Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
