It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
