Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
