What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
