Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
