Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
