Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house 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 pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
