Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
