Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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 cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
