Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
