Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
