Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
