Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
