Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
