Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
