Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
