Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
