Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
