We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
