Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
