Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
