Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
