We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

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