Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.

Does that change require an approved building permit? Complete building inspection reports can determine what work on the building doesn't have a building consent.
