Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
