This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
