Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
