We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
