Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
