Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
