What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
