Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
