Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
