Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
