Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
