This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
