Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
