Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
