Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
