Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
