It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
