Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
