Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
