We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can 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 until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
