We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
