This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
