We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
